Ah, you canāt be that oldāI remember when the Dead Sea wasnāt even sick.:\
During my 11.2 install a Firefox icon was automatically installed on the desktop folder. I suspect that such should be the norm, but you never know with Linux. Even if that didnāt happen, after accessing Firefox in the regular menu, right click on Firefox and select either Add to Favorites, Add to Desktop, or Add to Panelādepending on where you want the shortcut to appear. I hope that is somewhere in the ballpark of what you were seeking.
I dunno, I can remember when General motors was still a private.
I donāt have a problem with running Firefox, I have a problem clicking on a link in email, and it tries to open the link with Epiphany, which I donāt have installed.
How do I tell Evolution to stop being silly?
Another thing with Evo thatās causing me vast irritation is when I delete an email and press Ctl-E to expunge, it very often tells me thereās an error while expunging.
The only way I can get round that one is to close Evo totally and then run āfind .evolution/ -name ā*indexā -deleteā and try again.
Very disturbing release, this one. Although at last when running Evo under KDE, the box asking for passwords actually gets the focus instead of being orphaned.
Systemsettings, Default Applications. Change the mail program from Epiphany to whatever you want.
Question:
Did you reuse your homedir over and over again? You might be suffering from old settings. A clean /home/USERNAME/.kde4 can often improve or even solve matters.
I am using Evolution as my email agent. Itās semi-satisfactory (but letās not get into that).
When I click on a web URL in an email message, it tries to open the link - unfortunately it tries to open it with Epiphany which is the Gnome default browser, instead of Firefox. I do have Firefox installed, I donāt have Epiphany installed and probably never will.
Changing email agents is not an option - I transferred my mail to Kmail over the weekend, and Kmail decided to abend all over the place.
