|

| 342 | If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure a
|
---|
| 343 | default browser, you can add a configuration parameter to
|
---|
| 344 | <application>Thunderbird</application> so that a browser will start when
|
---|
| 345 | when you click on an Internet/intranet/local URL. The procedure to check
|
---|
| 346 | or modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
|
---|
| 347 | instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the parameters.
|
---|
| 348 | </para>
|
---|
| 349 |
|
---|
| 350 | <para>
|
---|
| 351 | First, open the configuration dialog by opening the <quote>Edit</quote>
|
---|
| 352 | drop-down menu. Choose <quote>Preferences</quote> and then click on the
|
---|
| 353 | <quote>Advanced</quote> icon on the top menu bar. Choose the
|
---|
| 354 | <quote>General</quote> tab and click on the <quote>Config Editor</quote>
|
---|
| 355 | button. This will display a list of the configuration preferences and
|
---|
| 356 | information related to each one. You can use the <quote>Filter:</quote>
|
---|
| 357 | bar to enter search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing
|
---|
| 358 | a preference can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a
|
---|
| 359 | boolean value (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to
|
---|
| 360 | toggle the value and two, for other preferences simply right-click on
|
---|
| 361 | the desired line, choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change
|
---|
| 362 | the value. Creating new preference items is accomplished in the same
|
---|
| 363 | way, except choose <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the
|
---|
| 364 | desired data into the fields when prompted.

| 368 | The configuration preference item you need to check so that

---|
| 369 | <application>Thunderbird</application> uses a specified browser is the
|
---|
| 370 | <parameter>network.protocol-handler.app.http</parameter> which should be
|
---|
| 371 | set to the path of the desired browser, e.g.
