I'm using Linux Mint Xfce. I've been a DC participant for a long time, but this is the first time I've tried Boinc.

The problem I'm encountering is that whenever I click something that should be displayed in Firefox, like Boinc Help for example, it attempts to disply it in Thunderbird instead of Firefox. I'm using Boinc Manager 6.2.15 BTW.

Thanks for the help, I tried that, but it didn't help. And Firefox is already the default browser. Whenever a link is invoked by any other program firefox starts, the boinc manager is the only exception.

Any other thoughts?

I'm not sure what the problem was, but un-installing and re-installing fixed it.

Thanks!
