If you use Mozilla’s Thunderbird, then I bet you said “finally…” when you read this title. It gets really annoying when you get an RSS feed in your mailbox and click on it only to see it open in IE. If you want it to open in Firefox, you would need to right-click -> “copy link location -> switch to Firefox -> open a new tab -> paste the URL into the address bar and hit enter. Haven’t you thought, “There must be an easier way, some geek has gotta figure this out…” Well some geek has figured it out. All you do is:

1. Open Thunderbird.
2. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Config editor
3. Make a new string network.protocol-handler.app.http with /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox
4. Same for network.protocol-handler.app.http - /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox

Now, Firefox should open all those RSS feeds that you’ve been getting in your inbox.
