[Bug 709216] Re: clicking on a link dont open the page

[Bem Jones-Bey]

I had this problem with Firefox in Natty as well (after upgrading from
10.10). After reading this bug and looking at what gets set in gconf
when I change the browser to Chrome, I noticed that the setting for
Chrome had %U (note the capital U) after the command in gconf. And when
I looked at the Properties for Chrome in the Menu editor, I noticed that
the Command also has the %U at the end of it. Looking at Firefox in the
menu editor showed that the Command didn't have the %U. So I added the
%U to the end of the Command line for Firefox in my menu and then
changed my default browser to Chrome and then back to Firefox, and now
links launch in Firefox like expected.

(Attempting to manually edit the gconf lines like suggested earlier in
this bug didn't work, it looks like neither %u or %s work if changed
directly in gconf, I didn't check anything else. But with previous posts
mentioning that things aren't reading from gconf anymore, maybe it's
just that Pidgin doesn't read gconf, and it's getting it's setting from
somewhere else that was also incorrect.)
