It should be: user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", "/usr/X11R6/bin/thunderbird"); in ~/.mozilla/firefox/profilename/prefs.js Or enter "about:config" in the Firefox address bar and search for "mailto". Then double click "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" to set it. -Mark -- GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941)
