The attached script works now with thunderbird. Turns out the command: /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-xremote-client
requires the thunderbird identification as 'mozilla-thunderbird' instead of just 'thunderbird'. I think I forgot to mention how to use this script. All you need to do is to go to about:config in firefox and set: network.protocol-handler.app.mailto to point to wherever you put firemail. T -- Anthony L.
