Quote from: troubadour on July 27, 2014, 10:22:04 pm [quote] When installing Icedove for the first time, clicking a link in a message tries to start Iceweasel, which is not allowed (rightly) if Icedove is confined by AppArmor.To use Tor Browser instead, Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor -> network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor -> network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https have to be set to "true". When a link is clicked, a popup asking for the preferred browser is shown, where one should select "/home/user/tor-browser_[your-language]/Browser/firefox". Should we mention it somewhere in the wiki?[/quote]
I am not sure I 100% understand, but please feel free to document this.
When I switched to Whonix 8.6, I had to install Icedove, like everyone, I guess. Clicking a link in an email was opening Iceweasel directly. One can use right-click “Copy Link Location” and paste it in Torbrowser, but I modified the preferences in Icedove to open it in Torbrowser, on the ground that it is safer that way than opening both browsers at the same time or Iceweasel only, despite the ongoing discussion in tor-talk and -no-remote prevents using Tor Browser as default browser (#12763) · Issues · Legacy / Trac · GitLab.
