getting URLs to fire off to a running Firefox

[Lynn David Newton]

Apologies for the previous partially composed message
... pushed the wrong button.

I'm running xemacs 21.4 (patch 15) on SuSe Linux Pro 9.2.

A couple of years ago I lost the ability to right click
a URL in email or news and never bothered to track it
down.

Now I've got a new job and am interested in restoring
that feature. The scenario is as follows. I might see a
URL in email, e.g.:

  http://www.google.com

to pick an easy example.

If I right click on it I get a pop-up choice to send it
to W3, Mosaic (which for some reason is listed twice),
Netscape, Konqueror, and the X clipboard.

I'm using Firefox as my default browser on this system,
which I just installed and configured yesterday. I
found by experimentation that when I select Konqueror
from that pop-up menu, it does send the URL to Firefox,
opening it in the current tab/window, but it also forks
off a copy of Konqueror, and sometimes but not always
brings it up there, too.

Ideally, I'd rather have a selection on that pop-up to
send it to Firefox directly, but if not, at least I'd
like it not to bring up Konqueror, just send it to
Firefox.

Does anyone know how I can get there from here?

I hope this is the right list to use. We can't read
network news from here.
