512944 - https-Links in Messages don't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 389732

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[eldeh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080410 SUSE/2.0.0.14-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: TB 3.0b3

Highlighted HHTP links in Messages open on click the link in the firefox for example per default. Nothing has to be onfigured for this. But a click on highlighted HTTPS links does nothing. Even if the https action is defined in the prefs.

Reproducible: Always




I think, I saw this behaviour already in TB 2.0

try resetting default browser
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser and post a feedback here.

I found the reason:

The following line was defined in the prefs.js:

---
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.https", false);
---

But I never changed or added this. It seems to be the default.

After switching this to "true", the click on the https links work.

WFM per comment #2 (reporter)

Comment 4

[eldeh]

The thing with setting:

---
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.https", false);
---

to true works, but then another serious problem arises:

In the case of "true", Lightning loads no calenders anymore. There is not even a error, but everything is empty, no task or event. The reason has surely to do with the fact, that the calenders lie in the network and have CalDAV URLs starting with "https:".

So, this solution is not really usable.

Have you try resetting default browser as in comment #1?
