Hi All,

I have been facing an issue with Thinderbird and its sync-up Google 
Chrome. Setting Google Chrome as the default browser and clicking any 
URL in a mail under Thunderbird opens up Google Chrome with Home page, 
but the URL is not loaded, while when i do the same with Mozilla Firefox 
, the instance is started and the URL is loaded.
Also if there is an instance of Google Chrome runnig, clicking of a URL 
will not open up a new tab in the current session compared to Firefox 
but besides will be opening up a new session with home page loaded.Can 
anyone guide me how to solve this.
Just to mention, trying to open a URL appearing in the Gnome Terminal 
works perfectly fine, as the same loads up in Google Chrome just as 
expected.

Installed Packages
firefox.x86_64                          3.5.6-1.fc12

The same issue have been fixed for Thunderbird 2 by changing the 
settings in the Config Editor, but the same is not working in F12 and 
Thunderbird 3. [http://tinyurl.com/yawfk38]
