So I'm judging from your post, that you want thunderbird to open a
compose window when you click a mailto link in firefox? Is that a good
summation of what you want? If you want that, you need to tell firefox
whwere thunderbird lives. To do this, you need to be out of both
thunderbird and firefox and edit the prefs.js file in firefox. Include
something like this at the bottom:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto",
"/home/mperry/thunderbird/thunderbird");
Now you will have to adjust the second set of values after the comma to
where you have thunderbird installed. If you are using the debian
packaged thunderbird, you need only mozilla-thunderbird there. Now a
slight disclaimer since you don't really say what version of debian is
running. I do this with debian unstable's firefox but I use a nightly
build from mozilla for thunderbird and it all works for me.
Also watch out for how the line wraps in your editor. It wraps here but
it should be continuous when you enter it.
