Simply use Google and search for “firefox+kmail” and you’ll find several
how-to. May be they are not for Suse but Firefox is not distribution
dependent.

Open Firefox Edit -> Preferences -> Applications. In Content Type
column for mailto select kmail as Action. If KMail isn’t listed,
select Use Other. KMail’s executable is in /usr/bin/.
Good luck.

Thank you both!
I have actually tried to edit firefox according to ram88 suggestion, as
well as several tutorials on the net, but maybe I didn’t point to
kmail’s bin file, in any case I hadn’t any luck. But I’ll have another
go.
Cheers,
Olav

If the patch points to /usr/bin/kmail that should be OK. You have
another problem. Is your KMail configured for an email client - can you
send/receive e-mails?

F_Sauce: I did not see anywhere that you said you’re using KDE4. If you
are using KDE3 then the proper command is /opt/kde3/bin/kmail
If you were using /usr/bin/kmail with KDE3 that could be why you’re not
having any success.
Let us know.

Hei,
Yes I can send receive e-post, no problem there . And I am using kde3.
But hey, it’s working:)
I have always used ‘about:config’ and edited my mail setup that way,
e.g. as described here:‘Howto Setup firefox for kmail – Ubuntu Geek’
(http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-firefox-for-kmail.html). I didn’t
know that I could configure it within the preferences menu, but this was
far easier.
Thank you all very much!
Cheers,
Olav
