Hi.
I assume this is an http: link?
This could be due to a bad GConf setting, though it's a bit odd that
you have the same problem with 2 accounts. It "works for me", though.
Can you please check the output of:
gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command
The output should be "firefox %s". If not, you can just unset it, and
thus revert to the system default (which should be firefox), with:
gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command
If this does not help, then the system-wide setting may have been
changed somehow.
Bob
