[adb388a] | 186 | <para>If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure
|
---|
[6473e74] | 187 | a default browser, you can add a configuration parameter to
|
---|
[adb388a] | 188 | <application>Thunderbird</application> so that a browser will start when
|
---|
| 189 | when you click on an Internet/intranet/local URL. The procedure to check
|
---|
| 190 | or modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
|
---|
| 191 | instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the
|
---|
| 192 | parameters.</para>
|
---|
| 193 |
|
---|
| 194 | <para>First, open the configuration dialog by opening the
|
---|
| 195 | <quote>Edit</quote> drop-down menu. Choose <quote>Preferences</quote>
|
---|
| 196 | and then click on the <quote>Advanced</quote> icon on the top menu
|
---|
[b9b1a372] | 197 | bar. Choose the <quote>General</quote> tab and click on the
|
---|
[adb388a] | 198 | <quote>Config Editor</quote> button. This will display a list of the
|
---|
| 199 | configuration preferences and information related to each one. You can
|
---|
| 200 | use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar to enter search criteria and narrow
|
---|
| 201 | down the listed items. Changing a preference can be done using two
|
---|
| 202 | methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value (True/False), simply
|
---|
| 203 | double-click on the preference to toggle the value and two, for other
|
---|
| 204 | preferences simply right-click on the desired line, choose
|
---|
| 205 | <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating new
|
---|
| 206 | preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
|
---|
| 207 | <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
|
---|
| 208 | fields when prompted.</para>
|
---|
| 209 |
|
---|
| 210 | <para>The configuration preference item you need to check so that
|
---|
| 211 | <application>Thunderbird</application> uses a specified browser is the
|
---|
| 212 | <parameter>network.protocol-handler.app.http</parameter> which should
|
---|
| 213 | be set to the path of the desired browser, e.g.,
