I see firefox has a "send link" button. How do I get it to work on a
Solaris 2.9 machine with CDE? I'm trying to use thunderbird but the
two products don't seem to be aware of each other. I found some notes
suggesting I could create a file user.js in my firefox defaults
directory with this entry:


user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto","/path_to_thunderbird/thunderbird")

But that didn't seem to work.

Are the options for the user.js file documented anywhere?

I tried your above suggestion, and it worked for me. However, I had to
make sure that I exited firefox first, then modified **prefs.js**, and
then restarted firefox. Otherwise, firefox will overwrite
modifications to the prefs.js file.

Thanks for the suggestion.

If you have put the pref in user.js, it will overide pref.js.


The other option is about:config. Here you can edit prefs on the fly,
in most cases.
