How do I get thunderbird to select Firefox when opening links in Emails.
When clicking on Links in Emails nothing is happening.
I can't find in Thunderbird Preferences a way to select Firefox.

It's not a Thunderbird preference, it's a desktop preference. If you use Gnome, look under the settings panel. If on KDE you still have to use the Gnome settings since TBird is a Gnome app. In that case, run gnome-control-panel from the Shell and look for Preferred Applications.

In KDE it's Settings/Default Applications/Web Browser and my is set to firefox, but it still won't open and use Firefox.
There is a execute file in /usr/bin/firefox

It's gnome-control-center. Sorry, I keep getting that wrong.

To repeat: TBird is a *Gnome* app. It doesn't care about KDE settings. Stupid but true.

Thanks for the help Patrick. Ran gnome-control-center, and under /System/System Info/Default Applications I made the changes and it is working normal in Thunderbird now.
