When I double click on a URL in an e-mail message FireFox doesn't display the web site. I checked with the Slypheed web site and it appears that double clicking on the URL should open up the FireFox browser. I can't see where there are any places in the Sylpheed configuration files to indicate that FireFox is the designated browser.

URL's in Slypheed are displayed in a color, as the Slpheed FAQ's and Documentation indicates is correct and copying and pasting to FireFox works fine but is obviously slow and impracticable.

Try typing this in a terminal window:

beaver /home/dsl/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc

Then scroll down to the line that starts with:

uri_open_command=

and replace

mozilla -remote 'openURL(%s, new window)'

with

firefox '%s'

Then save the file and re-open sylpheed and see if it works.

Modified sylpheedrc as per your post, the line that works was in total (for benefit of any one with the same problem) was:

uri_open_command=firefox -remote 'openURL(%s, new-window)'

URL's in e-mail now available with a double click as long as Firefox has been opened.

Thanks for help!

By getting rid of the "remote URL" stuff, I was hoping to get it to start Firefox for you so you don't need to open it manually before clicking on a link
