User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 When trying to connect with a emailed URL firefox remains inactive. After clicking on the hilighted URL line nothing happens. I have seen this come and go from changing versions of firefox from v3. to V4.2. It seems that something in pref.js or user.js gets set off from on. It may be a Thunderbird problem but doesn't appear to be one. If I change versions now and then this happens. Once set it is sometimes possible to go back on versions and regain it. Right now no luck Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Startx ; callup Thunderbird and click on a email which has quoted or highlighted url. 2.NOTE: Firefox is set to default 3. Actual Results: nothing happens - Firefox doesn't even show up with a wrong address. Expected Results: After you click on a URL on a Thunderbird email calls Firefox. Firefox should come up with the information displayed If I am seeing something incorrectly please let me know. If it is a pref.js instruction that is wrong I can try it a see if it works openSuSE 11.4 rc2 x86-64 KDE 4.6 Thunderbird (Maramar 3.3.a3 and Firefox 4.2a1pre) Donn Washburn n5xwb@comcast.net
Not a security issue. To see if that is a Thunderbird or Firefox issue: What happens if you call "firefox URL" on the commandline. If it works from there it's more likely a Thunderbird issue.

Yes Sir; It did work even on this https and http attempt. So it may be a Thunderbird problem. I will give them a notice. Thanks.
