|

32 | <para><application>Firefox</application> is a stand-alone browser
|
---|
33 | based on the <application>Mozilla</application> codebase.</para>
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | <para>With the introduction of Firefox-3.x, the
|
---|
36 | <application>pkgconfig</application> files for the Gecko engine (and for
|
---|
37 | <application>NSS</application> and <application>NSPR</application>) are not
|
---|
38 | installed. This means that applications such as <application>Yelp
|
---|
39 | </application> can no longer be built against firefox, and must instead be
|
---|
40 | built against Xulrunner (which is actually the same code, but built in a
|
---|
41 | different way). If you wish to build other packages which use Gecko (of the
|
---|
42 | applications in this book, probably only the gnome applications
|
---|
43 | will recognize this version of Xulrunner), build <xref linkend="xulrunner"/>
|
---|
44 | first.</para>
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | <tip>
|
---|
47 | <para>Firefox is updated frequently as new vulnerabilities are found.
|
---|
48 | Consult
|
---|
49 | <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/">mozilla security</ulink>
|
---|
50 | for details of what is fixed in newer releases. The editors cannot guess
|
---|
51 | what will differ in newer versions: it should be straightforward to upgrade
|
---|
52 | within the same series (3.6), but it is always possible that newer versions
|
---|
53 | will have increased dependencies, or that something using the nss or gecko
|
---|
54 | libraries will break. If you update, begin by updating
|
---|
55 | <application>Xulrunner</application> if you use that, then update Firefox
|
---|
56 | (ensuring the libxul-sdk option points to the new version).</para>

353 | <para>No specific configuration is required as long as the
|
---|
354 | <command>firefox</command> script is in the user's path. If
|
---|
355 | <application>Firefox</application> is installed in a non-standard location,
|
---|
356 | then make a symlink to the <command>firefox</command> script in the
|

357 | <filename class="directory">/usr/bin</filename> directory.</para>
|

358 |
|
---|
359 | <para>If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure
|
---|
360 | a default mail client, you can add a configuration parameter to
|
---|
361 | <application>Firefox</application> so that an email client will start
|
---|
362 | when you click on a <systemitem role='url'>mailto:</systemitem> URL.
|
---|
363 | There are two parameters you need to check. The procedure to check or
|
---|
364 | modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
|
---|
365 | instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the
|
---|
366 | parameters.</para>
|
---|
367 |
|
---|
368 | <para>First, open the configuration dialog by entering
|
---|
369 | <systemitem role='url'>about:config</systemitem> in the address bar. This
|
---|
370 | will display a list of the configuration preferences and information
|
---|
371 | related to each one. You can use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar to enter
|
---|
372 | search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference
|
---|
373 | can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value
|
---|
374 | (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value
|
---|
375 | and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line,
|
---|
376 | choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating
|
---|
377 | new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
|
---|
378 | <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
|
---|
379 | fields when prompted.</para>
|
---|
380 |
|
---|
381 | <para>The two configuration preference items you need to check so that
|
---|
382 | <application>Firefox</application> uses a specified default mail client
|
---|
383 | are the <parameter>network.protocol-handler.external.mailto</parameter>
|
---|
384 | which should be set to <option>True</option> and the
|
---|
385 | <parameter>network.protocol-handler.app.mailto</parameter> which should
|
---|
386 | be set to the path of the desired mail client, e.g.,
|

387 | <option>/usr/bin/thunderbird</option>.</para>
|

388 |
|

389 | <tip>
|
---|
390 | <para>There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to
|
---|
391 | customize <application>Firefox</application>. A very extensive and

392 | up-to-date list of these parameters can be found at <ulink
