| 278895 | 2004-10-07 07:44:00 | Using Xandros 2.10 with the latest Firefox and Thunderbird. One of my favorite sites is HowStuffWorks.com. I get all the latest links by email. When I click on these links in Thunderbird they wont open in Firefox. If I change the default to Konqueror the links work but without Macromedia Flash Player which is necessary to view the site properly. I have the Macromedia Plugin`on Firefox so to get it to work I have to copy & paste the link for every item. Can anyone give me a few clues to fix this annoying problem. I remember it used to work with the Mozilla Suite |

Try going to where you have the default Konqueror option listed, and see if you can add firefox as a option. If there is a field for command, enter in firefox %s. If this doesn't work, you will need to enter in the absolute path to the firefox executable followed by the %s eg. /home/i-gorden/firefox/firefox %s See if this helps. Xandros seems to do things a wee bit different to standard Linux distro's. |

| 278897 | 2004-10-08 03:36:00 | Thanks Jen, Fixed now, What was happening was Firefox was saving the links instead of opening them. I always knew it was something simple. Just needed a good nights sleep to clear the head. |
