Can anybody explain why mailto hyperlinks in Firefox don't activate a new message in my default e-mail program - Thunderbird. This automatic synchronicity, which I'm very accustomed to when using on other computer platforms like Mac OSX or Windows, will only work properly when I'm using Konqueror, KDE's appointed browser. Similarly, http web addresses written into e-mail messages do not activate my chosen browser, Firefox, when triggered by Thunderbird. On the other hand however, if I use KMail instead of Thunderbird the hyperlinks will activate the browser without a problem.
I've also just noticed that the 'send link...' command on the file menu of Firefox also yields no action. Very frustrating, I have to copy and paste everything I want to transfer from the e-mail program to the browser and vice versa. This is very back sliding don't you think? These things should work easily in any modern OS. Although Unix might be the most powerful operating system, a front end GUI like KDE should get these functions working properly so that alternative browsers and e-mail programs can be integrated smoothly. It's a shame, I would like to be more complimentary.
I'm guessing if you change your default browser and e-mail client to something other than Konqueror and KMail, KDE is going to give you a hard time. Is this how it's supposed to be?
Cheers
