I just installed FC4 and started using Firefox and
Thunderbird and stopped using Mozilla and FC3.

But when I use Thunderbird to read an email and I click a url inside the
email, the system opens the url using /usr/bin/mozilla. So I did

mv /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/bin/hiddenmozilla

Then when I clicked the link I got a message:

Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action
command associated with this location.

So I guess Gnome has something like a Windows registry or a default
browser. I looked through the Gnome documents but couldn't find
anything about "default action command". I don't know why they don't
provide a way to search the documents.

How do I change the "default action command" to call Firefox instead of
Mozilla?
