Claws-Mail & Firefox

This describes how to sending Links in Firefox via Claws-Mail.
First create a Script called mailto.sh with Content:

#!/bin/sh
# mailto.sh
exec sylpheed-claws --compose "$1"

Make it executable:

$ chmod +x mailto.sh

Type

about:config

in the Firefox URL-Field. Check that

network.protocol-handler.external.mailto

is set to

true

. Check if there is a setting called

network.protocol-handler.app.mailto

. If not make it as a new

String

. Set the Value to

/path/to/mailto.sh

.

That’s it. Now, if you are clicking on a mailto:-Link or pressing the “Send Link:-Button” in Firefox, Claws-Mail should open.
