[Discuss] Mozilla freeze ups

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

So far all is well. Although I've been using chrome as my default
browser all morning, I have not seen an issue except for clickable
links. I also have not seem Thunderbird freeze up yet today.

One problem though. When I clikc on a link in Thunderbird, it still
brings up firefox. In Thunderbird, Preferences/Config editor I have
network.protocol-handler.app.http and network.protocol-handler.app.https
set to /usr/bin/google-chrome
In Gnome3 I have settings/system Info/Default Apps set to Google Chrome.
There is a relevant bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760644
'xdg-open http://fedoraproject.org' successfully opens a tab in Chrome.
I've changed some settings in the gconf-editor also, but no change.
Currently I have not gone through all the Google searches. One solution
was to uninstall firefox, which I did, but that did not solve the
problem. Clicking a link with firefox uninstalled simply did not work.
Somehow I'm missing something.
