Hi,

I'd like to be able to click on a mailto: link in firefox (iceweasel) and have it handled in another tabe by the round cube that handles my mail account.

I didn't see a way to add another webmail client in firefox 31.4.0, so I typed about:config in the location box and searched for mailto:, and found the entries for yahoo and gmail.

Since I have no gmail account I overwrote the name and uri there, specifying the uri I use for round cube on my account.

But nothing happened. Yahoo and Gmail still show up under Edit | Preferences | Applications | mailto:, although about:config does show gmail gone and my mail provider's uri in its place.

As well, Yahoo and Gmail had other stuff in the uri to reflect composition mode and the address to send to.

How do I invoke round cube from firefox passing the to address and starting a compose session?

Thanks. _______________________________________________ Roundcube Users mailing list users@lists.roundcube.net http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/users

You need to go into "about:config", then search for the line 'gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost'. Change its value to true. Then open firefox webconsole (press F12), then copy/paste this "javascript:navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','http://mail.domain.tld/?_task=mail&_action=compose&_to=%s%27,%27Roun...')", but don't forget to change it with your own values (i.e. change mail.domain.tld to whatever your working URI is). Then press Enter, and it should be done.

Your email made me want to do it also, so it's tested and it works :)

You can also go to Settings > Preferences > User Interface > Browser Options in Roundcube and click the link "Register protocol handler for mailto: links" ;)

I did not even look in Roundcube options... Well that's a much better solution !

Sounded better, but didn't work. I'll try your method tomorrow. Let you know what happens.

Thanks.

OK! firefox asked me with a line across the top of the tab, which I hadn't seen in the first instance, asking if I wanted to add round cube to the list of apps that handled mailto:

I clicked add.

On checking edit | preferences | applications | mailto: I discovered it set to 'always ask' and roundtube at my mail provider as one of the available choices.

Which is just right, from my perspective ... enabling me to use yahoo for mailto: if I don't want to send my 'real' email address to the website providing the link.

Thanks a million! My problem lay in not noticing firefox' response to my clicking the link to enable round cube's mailto: action in round cube's settings

When you click there Firefox should ask you if you want to add an application. If you say Yes, next time you click on mailto: link it will ask you which application to use, where you can select Roundcube and tell firefox to remember the choice. Works for me.
