Mozilla applications handle those things based on their own stuff/code (mime types, network protocols... are all in charge of Firefox/ Thunderbird). On linux systems that causes a bit of mess because every desktop environment (GNOME, KDE...) has its own defined rules for taking care of this and they collide. So usually, users has to make some tweaks to get the behaviour they want. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
