I am a Mozilla 1.7x user who has recently migrated to Firefox 1.04 and Thunderbird and 1.02 in Kubuntu Linux.
When I click on an http link in an email window in Thunderbird, that page is opened in a Firefox tab.
Likewise, when I click on a mailto: link on a web page in Firefox, I want a compose window to be opened in Thunderbird. How do I achieve this?
What I am seeking is the same integrated behaviour as in Mozilla.
TIA.

I've been having the same problem so I tried this, but for some reason my Firefox is installed in /opt and nothing I do will let me create that user.js file. I've tried doing it as sudo but it still tells me I can't.
Is Firefox supposed to be in that directory? If not how can I get it where it's supposed to be so that I can get this to work?
