Hi

this my issue: Say I have a link to an url within some other application. It should work such that when I click on the link, firefox is launched and that url is opened. Indeed firefox is launched, but it opens the default home page. It happens from all applications (id does not happen from links within a .pdf file I am reading with AcroRead)


thanks cheers mario

I would have expected it to work as long as Firefox is set as the default browser for your Linux system.

I mainly use Linus but not Fedora and so I can not give a definite answer as to what would need changing.

Does any of this article throw light on the problem ?

What is your Desktop Environment KDE or Gnome for instance ?
