Hello.. I am trying to make my firefox work with my Thunderbird but I dont understand one thing when you say.... Change the paths to point to this executable shell script:
How do you do this ... is this a file or do you do it in konsole and what is the path that you should change it too ..
Create the script I mentioned here: http://paramount.ind.wpi.edu/pipermail/wlug/2004-October/004222.html as a new file (call it launch-firefox). I would recommend making a 'bin' directory under your home directory (mkdir ~/bin), create the script in that dir using an editor like kate or something easy, then add execute permissions (chmod 755 ~/bin/launch-firefox). Make sure you change the path *inside* the script (export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/path/to/firefox/dir) to point to the dir that you have firefox installed in. I know this might sound complicated and it shouldn't need to be this way but firefox is still prerelease software and on Linux there's less people trying to make things easier. The typical Linux user does it their own way anyway. Keep asking questions...the only way to learn, BR
