| 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

| 412 |
|

| 413 | <para>First, open the configuration dialog by opening the

|

| 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>
