starting Firefox from an adresse on Thunderbird

Asked by louis kolli

Bonjour,

depuis la version UBUNTU 11.10,
avec Mozilla Thunderbird 7.0.1, chaque fois que je clique sur une adresse mail qui est dans un message, le navigateur Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 se lance mais dans la barre d'adresse il y a WWW.%U. L'adresse n'est plus passée.
Est-ce lié à Ubuntu ?

------> in English
Ubuntu 11.10 - Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 - Mozilla Thunderbird 7.0.1

Using Thunderbird, When I "click" on an adress web which is in a message, Firefox start but, each time, the adress of the site is losted. In the bar adress there is "www.%u"

I cannot say if it's Ubuntu 11.10 or Thunderbird or Firefox.
Someone have an idea about this ? I tried to start both with desactivated modules. It's still the same

Thunderbird 7.0.1 : quand je clique sur une adresse mail, ce dernier me propose de rédiger à nouveau message à cette adresse.
Système->Applications favorites: Vérifie que le courrier est bien associé à Thunderbird.

I verified. And It was ok. And the problem still there.

I saw the bug #168967. It is the same I got.

"It was as simple as to go to Edit | Preferences | Attachments in Thunderbird and remove the Firefox from the HTTP and HTTPS as program to open. Somehow it did not work correctly though Firefox was defined there.
After I removed the selection and then tried to open the web link from open email, I got the option to choose the program and select Firefox again and now it works as it should. "

I tried to do what is described, but I don't find the HTTP and HTTPS option as it's written there. I've inspected all of the "preferences"

Could you check URL of bug. This doesn't seem related to Thunderbird.

I wrote the bug #885794

I tried to do what is explained in the questions. Having modified the preferences Network Controller ..HTTP from false to true made the HTTP and HTTPS in the preferences/attachments appears. But it didn't solve my problem

This seems like a bug to me.. "%u" is probably the url and I think it's a bug in Thunderbird..

What is probably the problem: Thunderbird hasn't parsed the link correctly. It needs to replace %u with the website you've clicked on..

In this case, convert question into a bug.

It's now Ok.

I have done a mix with what is indicated by Husain in the answer #11 and what is indicated in the answer #5 (create a user.js file in profile Thunderbird)

The both maid me arrive to a solution
