Linux Firefox and Thunderbird
Filed under: 
Firefox and Thunderbird do not integrate well under Linux. In order to associate the mailto protocol with Thunderbird, follow the steps below:
- Download this small shell script and put it somewhere sensible in your hard-drive
- Change line 3 to include the path of your thunderbird directory where it was initially installed, e.g.:
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="$HOME/Main/Programs/thunderbird" - Open Firefox and enter the page
about:config - Add a new string; name it “”network.protocol-handler.app.mailto” and set its value to the full path of your new script, e.g.
~/scripts/tbmail.sh
