In attachments their isn't any listing for Firefox. I opened action / 
use other .... nothing in Dolphin / documents to start with .... found 
Firefox 10.2 tz in dolphin and put in documents. I can down load Firefox 
but it never appears in Action window as a choice to use. Question isn't 
Kubuntu using the same repositories as Ubuntu? and aren't they all 
derived from Debian? So wouldn't you think that if Thunderbird works 
perfectly U-12.04-B why shouldn't  Thunderbird be working correctly in 
Kubuntu 12.04-B ...... I could understand there being a problem if 
Kubuntu was using a RPM repository like in Fedora 16.

Thanks for trying to help
