[SOLVED] thunderbird url to open in firefox

[imranka]

I Know this topic has already been discussed three times here. The solution there given was:
1. Go to: Cool Solutions: Forcing Thunderbird to Open Hyperlinks in Firefox
2. An url from gentoo-wiki which supposedly have the answer but unfornutely it seems the url no longer exists.

Now, I read the novell solution. My problem is I don't have ~/.thunderbird directory and so normally I'm missing the prefs.js file which I'm supposed to edit. In this case what to do?

N.B: I placed the openlink.sh in my /usr/lib/thunderbird/ directory.

Hmmm. I found that they no longer calls the directory under /home/user/ .thunderbird but .mozilla-thunderbird. After finding the directory the solution given in Novell site applies, and it worked. But I have used a better version of openlink.sh, which I copied from mozillazine forum. Its like this:

#!/bin/sh

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/opt/firefox"

url="$1"
if [ "x$url" = "x" ]; then
url="about:blank"
fi

if $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/mozilla-xremote-client openURL\("$url, new-tab"\); then
exit 0
fi
exec $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/firefox "$url"

Just to post the best solution I've found I repoened this thread.
