Firefox default problem -

[paul s]

hi -

i don't do it this way... i have cleared all my associations in Firefox 
and Thunderbird since nothing ever seems to work all the time...

cp /usr/share/applications/defaults.list ~/.local/share/applications

and changed all the types there to map to my preferred applications... 
anything gtk seems to use this list in kde...

seems to work without a hitch... it will be available here for a bit...

cheers
paul
