How about kmail, 1.9.10, I am using trinity R14.0.3 ATM, and cannot find 
such a configuration item.

Thanks.

Gene,
as you seem to use kmail in System Settings / Default Applications / Web 
Browser enter
"firefox -new-tab $1"
Provided you want the link to appear in a new tab instead of a new window

How does that go?

Cheers
Eike

Me?

I had a similar problem as Gene did. Since the Debian switch from iceweasel to 
firefox I always copied the URL and then pasted/go into the URL field. That was 
inconvenient.
man firefox
And since Gene's e-mail header mentions kmail as his e-mail client I thought 
he must be using KDE same as I. Looking in Kmail setup did not come up with 
any mention of a browser. Jörg-Volker's hint didn't work either for me [thank 
you anyway] so I looked into the KDE System Settings. Browser is an 
application, no?
So under "Applications" I found "Web Browser" - it was still set to "iceweasel 
$1" so voila.

Have a nice day/night

OK, fired up a Jessie VM and installed TDE-Trinity

I think:

Trinity Control Center
 TDE Components
 Default Applications
 Web Browser
 x in the following browser
 firefox -new-tab $1

I didn't bother to install Firefox within the VM, however.
So Gene ought to know better than I do ...

Except I am not running any VM's, just quasi-stock wheezy with additions, 
mostly from the wheezy repo's except for the linuxcnc stuffs.  The above 
command line addition in defaults works fine now.
