Description Kalsan 2011-07-28 11:21:49 UTC

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

In my settings, I set "google-chrome" as standard command for http Links. This works, for example in OO Writer. However, Thunderbird does nothing when clicking a link in an Email or right-click it, "Open in Web Browser".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Click a link in an Email or right-click, "Open in Web Browser".

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Open Chrome

This is not a problem of KDE. Thunderbird has its own way(not influenced by DE settings)of controlling how to open URL. 

There are plenty of articles on internet about how to change it.
