** Description changed: - When I click on the links the website does not open, but there is a - window, where I can choose the browser.

But it does not work anyway or at least shows the - browsers to choose. + [Note: the original description is under the five dashes, below. What + follows is a reformatted bug description that follows the format + described at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/NormalizedBugFormat>.] + + Summary: Lack of support for default browser in the KDE environment when + opening HTTP links + + Steps to reproduce: + 1. Make sure that you are working in the KDE environment and that at least one browser is installed into the system. (I don't know if the bug can be reproduced if both the KDE and GNOME environments are installed, but it definitely is reproducible if only the KDE system is present). + 2. Open Thunderbird. If you are starting with a fresh profile, ignore the request to set up a new account by closing the window. + 3. Open the Preferences dialog (Edit->Preferences), switch to the Attachments tab and make sure that no application is listed for HTTP links. Close the dialog. + 4. Open an e-mail message containing an HTTP link (go to File->Open->Saved Message and choose a saved e-mail message or, if a message containing a link is present in the Inbox, use that as well). For the testers' convenience, I have attached one to this report (see [1]). If you are prompted to create a new account (as no one exists), skip it. + 5. Click the link. + + Expected Result: + The "Choose application" window appears, presenting a list of installed browsers or offering to open the link with the default browser. + + Actual Result: + The "Choose application" window appears, offering only the choice to select an application's binary file (see attached screenshot, [2]). No installed browsers are listed nor is the default browser offered as a choice. + + References: + 1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/884135/+attachment/2585570/+files/LinkTest.eml / E-mail message containing a link + 2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/884135/+attachment/2585580/+files/ChooseAppScreenshot.png / Screenshot showing the actual result + + This kind of support is already offered by Thunderbird in GNOME (through the thunderbird-gnome-support package). + + I have reproduced the issue on a clean Thunderbird profile, with the English Language Pack and the Addon Compatibility Reporter, Lightning and Enigmail extensions installed. + ----- + When I click on the links the website does not open, but there is a window, where I can choose the browser. But there a no browsers shown at all, so I cannot really chose one. I installed firefox and rekonq is already installed. But it does not work anyway or at least shows the browsers to choose.
