Re: [Evolution] sending urls to firefox

[amarpreet rattan <arattan math uwaterloo ca>]

well, alot of peopel have replied to this post.

oddly, the one that seems to do the trick is the simplest one.  changing
in gconf the http handler to

firefox %s

it does exactly what i want it to.  it opens a new tab in the existing
window.  this might be because i am using the tabpreferences extension.

thanks.
