Is it possible to configure Evolution to open a specific browser wehen you click on a URL in a message? I have one installthat opens links in Firefox. I'd like to change it to open them in mozilla.
The action taken when clicking a link in any Gnome application is a
Gnome wide setting. Evolution will just do the same as every other Gnome
application.
In order to change this behaviour, the Gnome settings are the place to
go: Open "Gnome Control Center > Preferred Applications > Web Browser";
or simply run "gnome-default-applications-properties".
If you do not have gnome-control-center installed, for example because
you are not using the entire Gnome environment, you can also set your
default browser by using "gconftool.
Setting the default browser using gconftool (Gnome 2.0/2.2)
===========================================================
You will need GConf (and the gconf daemon running) to set this. If you
do '''not''' have the Gnome Control Center installed, there is a way to
set this using GConf directly:
See which values are stored in that sub-tree. Save the output to a file,
so you can revert to those settings!
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown
command = mozilla %s
need-terminal = false
enabled = true
Now, enter all those values by running the following commands:
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'mozilla %s'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/need-terminal false
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/enabled true
Setting the default browser using gconftool (Gnome 2.4 or later)
================================================================
This is basically the as above, just some GConf key change: The relevant
key on Gnome 2.4 has changed, but is pretty much similar.
Simply substitute
unknown
by
http
especially in the commands to set the values.
Also, the "https" branch may be useful. However, this is *not* set using
the "Gnome control center"/"gnome-default-applications-properties"
method mentioned above.
cheers,
andre
