Hi All,

I have been facing an issue with Thinderbird and its sync-up Google
Chrome for a couple of days. 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
@updates
gnome-terminal.x86_64                   2.28.2-1.fc12
@updates
google-chrome-beta.x86_64               4.0.249.43-34537
@google64
thunderbird.x86_64                      3.0.1-1.fc12
@updates

The 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]
