how do I get thunderbird/firebird to play nice togetherhow do I get thunderbird/firebird to play nice togetherPosted Dec 18, 2003 22:44 UTC (Thu) by filteredperception (guest, #5692)Parent article: A look at Thunderbird 0.4 I haven't tried 0.4 yet, but when I tried 0.3, I had one glaring complaint. I couldn't for the life of me figure out (or find documentation) how to configure thunderbird to use firebird (or anything else) as it's html viewer. I.e. "send link" from the browser, or "open link" from the email client. Can someone please beat me over the head with the answer that is probably so obvious I am blind to it? -dmc

how do I get thunderbird/firebird to play nice together Posted Dec 27, 2003 16:11 UTC (Sat) by madmakis (guest, #1030) [Link] I'm using Firebird 0.7 and Tbird 0.4. Using the "Tips and Tricks" fromhttp://texturizer.net/thunderbird/tips.html and http://texturizer.net/firebird/tips.html#beh_reuse You can get Firebird to come up from Tbird, although it refuses to open a new window on an account that's already open somewhere else, so you have to have 3 or 4 identical accounts if you keep Firebird open for other tasks. Maybe I miss the utility in requiring unique accounts... maybe it's a bug. What I still haven't found, is how to get a "Send Page" and "Send Link" for Firebird's "File" menu to call Tbird or anybody else for that matter. There is also still some anomalous behaviour... Occasionally, Tbird will open the same message in a separate window 10 times, all on its own. Then when I close each of the windows by hand, ps() still shows the processes as active. Closing Tbird entirely removes them from the process list. Both Firebird and Tbird still commit suicide occasionally for unknown reasons. They are both very close to going mainstream, just a few corrections here and there. Mark
