Thanks to Eric, Jochem, and Vivek! I am not at all familiar with Gnome or even desktop stuff. I did find the thing under (apparently) Nautilus. It was rather obscurely located on my Libranet 2.8.1 desktop. I wonder in what files those control parameters are stored. My terminal oriented mind wants to know. I wonder where I should have found my own answer? Anyway, my remotely running mutt now can supply URLs to my local Firefox. For someone used to highlighting and pasting, it is a real thrill. No answer on the KDE/Konqueror question. Maybe Gnome is ahead of KDE in this area? -- Willie, ONWARD!
