Description Claudio 2011-10-30 23:14:04 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

After upgrading to kmail2 (and continuing using Firefox 7.0.1) suddenly the "Send link" does not work anymore.  A new message kmail form is opened with my default identity but the "Subject" field is empty and the URL is missing.
This happened on two different machines I have upgraded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any URL with Firefox.
2. From "File" menu choose "Send link"


Actual Results:  
The new message does not show anything under "Subject" and the URL is not copied into the message's body

Expected Results:  
1. The new message shows as "Subject" the title of the page opened by Firefox, and
2. the URL of the page is copied in the message's body

Both things automatically

Works fine here.
I use firefox 7.0.1 + kmail2
All is ok.

This is still happening on two different machines that had already Firefox 7.0.1 installed (and working fine) before the upgrade to kmail2.
Firefox "mailto" (under "Applications") is fine, as the launch of a kmail's new message form proves (I checked Firefox configuration too).
It would be interesting to sniff the IPC message that Firefox sent to see if the information is there or not.  I would be glad to help on this, just let me know what would be an appropriate tool for this purpose.

Regards,
Claudio

Fixed.  It seems the problem was related to the upgrade process.
I installed Thunderbird, which work fine with Firefox's "Send link" and then configure Firefox back to use again kmail.  Now it works fine (??!!).
