|

| 312 | <application>Firefox</application> is installed in a non-standard location,
|
---|
[5a13c45] | 313 | then make a symlink to the <command>firefox</command> script in the

[c103832] | 316 | <para>If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure
|
---|
[3a4bc84] | 317 | a default mail client, you can add a configuration parameter to
|
---|
[c103832] | 318 | <application>Firefox</application> so that an email client will start
|
---|
| 319 | when you click on a <systemitem role='url'>mailto:</systemitem> URL.
|
---|
| 320 | There are two parameters you need to check. The procedure to check or
|
---|
| 321 | modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
|
---|
| 322 | instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the
|
---|
| 323 | parameters.</para>
|
---|
| 324 |
|
---|
| 325 | <para>First, open the configuration dialog by entering
|
---|
| 326 | <systemitem role='url'>about:config</systemitem> in the address bar. This
|
---|
| 327 | will display a list of the configuration preferences and information
|
---|
| 328 | related to each one. You can use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar to enter
|
---|
| 329 | search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference
|
---|
[3a4bc84] | 330 | can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value
|
---|
[c103832] | 331 | (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value
|
---|
| 332 | and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line,
|
---|
| 333 | choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating
|
---|
| 334 | new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
|
---|
| 335 | <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
|
---|
| 336 | fields when prompted.</para>
|
---|
| 337 |
|
---|
| 338 | <para>The two configuration preference items you need to check so that
|
---|
| 339 | <application>Firefox</application> uses a specified default mail client
|
---|
| 340 | are the <parameter>network.protocol-handler.external.mailto</parameter>
|
---|
| 341 | which should be set to <option>True</option> and the
|
---|
| 342 | <parameter>network.protocol-handler.app.mailto</parameter> which should
|
---|
| 343 | be set to the path of the desired mail client, e.g.,

|
---|
| 345 |

| 346 | <tip>
|

| 347 | <para>There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to
