Links dont work in firefox or thunderbird

Hi there, I have a very small but irritating problem in both firfox and thunderbird.

In thunderbird, when i click on the link in an email for example, it doesnt open up thunderbird to view it, i have to cut and paste it in

In firefox, when i click on a link to something i've downloaded in my downloads windows, nothing happens

I was wondering if anyone has a solution for this as it would be a real help to save me opening things up manually

I've heard of people trying to change permissions of certain folders and so on but I wanted to know if there was a sure fire way of getting it to work ?

Thanks in advance

I don't have the details, but google on it - for one (firefox I think) you can set it in about:config; for the other, you have to edit your user.prefs file.

If you haven't already figured this out, you might try this link:

Thanks guys and gals.

I used the link, thunderbird works like i want it to.

Unfortunately cant find the option to let firefox open up my file manager (konqueror) on clicking links in the downleaded window.

I will have a frther look on google. But thanks so far
