(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Pedro Madeira]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030715 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030715 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Probably this is not the place to report this, in that case please advise.

I'm using linux and Mozilla Firebird and Thunderbird latest nightly builds.
When I press links on emails or try to get new dictionaries for thunderbird
email composition I can't invoke the preferred or associated web browser.

Can this be defined some place? I tried to look in the prefs file but I could't
find no proper place to do so.

Reproducible: Always

The thunderbird forum on mozillazine says to report bugs there instead of in
bugzilla....

Comment 2

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Please don't report Thunderbird bugs in bugzilla (at the moment).
Use the mozillazine Forum if you have problems

-> invalid

See the release notes. This is a known issue with linux. See the second issue on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/release-notes.html.

I'm confirming this. At least then we'll  have something to dupe against. If
it's suppose to be marked invalid, then do so.

It's not just a Linux specific bug - I also see it on Mac OS X 10.2.6 (Mozilla
Thunderbird 0.1, build 20030727). Was reported in bug 214126.
