405 | <para>If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure

407 | <application>Thunderbird</application> so that a browser will start when
|
---|
408 | when you click on an Internet/intranet/local URL. The procedure to check
|
---|
409 | or modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
|

410 | instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the
|
---|
411 | parameters.</para>
|
---|
412 |
|
---|
413 | <para>First, open the configuration dialog by opening the
|

414 | <quote>Edit</quote> drop-down menu. Choose <quote>Preferences</quote>
|
---|
415 | and then click on the <quote>Advanced</quote> icon on the top menu
|
---|
416 | bar. Choose the <quote>Advanced</quote> tab and click on the
|
---|
417 | <quote>Config Editor</quote> button. This will display a list of the
|
---|
418 | configuration preferences and information related to each one. You can
|
---|
419 | use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar to enter search criteria and narrow
|
---|
420 | down the listed items. Changing a preference can be done using two
|
---|
421 | methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value (True/False), simply
|
---|
422 | double-click on the preference to toggle the value and two, for other
|
---|
423 | preferences simply right-click on the desired line, choose
|
---|
424 | <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating new
|
---|
425 | preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
|
---|
426 | <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
|
---|
427 | fields when prompted.</para>

---|
428 |
|

429 | <para>The configuration preference item you need to check so that
