 Icedove links not working in FF7Upgraded to ff7 per kmathern installer. FF7 works EXCEPT icedove links will not open. I have added the network.protocol-handler lines per wiki. ff7 is default browser.

Re: Icedove links not working in FF7 Try File Associations in System Settings. Change .html etc.

Re: Icedove links not working in FF7 Did icedove ask you what browser you wanted. If so you have to tell it where to find FF7 by typing in its path. (usr/bin or whatever).
You have to do this even if you have already changed the network protocols in the icedove config editor. And even if you have set FF7 as your default browser in KDE. I've been caught this way before.... |

Re: Icedove links not working in FF7 Thats the problem. On this one computer Icedove did not ask, and I can't find where to insert this.

Re: Icedove links not working in FF7 I had responded to you in another thread about your problem with this question: Can you run Icedove from a Konsole and see any error messages when you click on a web link? This might give us some clues to work with.
Upgrading to FF 7.0 shouldn't have changed the location of the Firefox executable, so I don't think it's because Icedove can't find it. It might be something a little deeper than that. Any error messages you get will definitely be helpful. _________________ SimplyMEPIS is SimplyTHEBEST Mepis 8.5; 2.6.32-1-mepis-pae (Internal 2.6.32-12); 4GB RAM 2.4GHz AMD Athlon 4600+ NVidia GeForce 6150 LE; 304.51 Display Driver |

Re: Icedove links not working in FF7
What firefox were you using before you installed FF7 with my installer? The original FF that came with Mepis 11 and Stevo's firefox (and iceweasel) packages have a /usr/bin/firefox symlink pointing back to where the actual executable is. My installer doesn't create the /usr/bin/firefox symlink. I didn't have it create the symlink because some people might want to have both the packaged firefox and the tarball version installed at the same time. I didn't think people would think to kindly of me if I my installer clobbered the symlink owned by the firefox/iceweasel package. Icedove (or the network.protocol-handler lines) might expect the symlink to there. If you want to create the /usr/bin/firefox symlink you can do so with the following command:

Re: Icedove links not working in FF7 Thanks the symlink worked. I was using the CR version of ff6.02 but for some reason had a symlint to irt.
