I agree with Zelph, changing .html extensions to be opened in a browser is not a solution as I want my .html files opened in a text editor, but links opened in my default browser. – Gradualist, on August 14, 2008 10:30

Thanks, zelph. I've been wondering if there was a workaround for this.

I had a similar problem on Mac OS X. It ended up being that twhirl uses the default .html file opener for the links. Since I have .html files opening with Textmate, it would never get to the browser. When I changed my .html extensions to be opened with FireFox all was well.

Since I don't want my .html files normally opened with Firefox I would suggest a change in twhirl to use the default browser of the OS, not the default .html client.

Just fixed the issue on mine. I have Vista and Flock. I did both of the things explained here and nothing worked. In fact, everywhere I looked, Flock was already default. So I went to the start menu and typed this in without the quotes: "flock.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" . Wasn't sure where to put this but I'm sure others have to have the same issue.

I am still having this issue. It happened after the FF3 installation also. I tried both above. But Google Talk links don't work either. Those are the only two that don't seem to work. I am fine with copy and paste on Talk but Twhirl doesn't allow this.

Doh! I tried that before, but chose "Set your default programs". My browser was already set there, but I re-set it again. No joy.

This time I selected in the Default Programs "Set program access and computer defaults". For the "default browser" it was set to "My current web browser". I selected Internet Explorer and then it now works (you could also do the same for FF)

Yeah! All working now.

I think I figured out what is going on.

I recently tried the FF 3 beta. During this process FF 2 (my default browser) was uninstalled. Windows simply removed the default browser setting from the "default programs" control panel. I can only guess that this leaves Twhirl with no browser to call upon.

To fix it (on Vista) go to Control Panel->Default Program->Open currently selected configuration->Default Browser. Then select your browser of choice. I rebooted the system, but I am not sure that you have to.

For what it's worth, this issue also manifested as being unable to open links from Outlook.

That's it.

When I click a link my text editor (Textpad) opens with this message:

---------------------------

Weird. No fun.

Links Do Not Open In Twhirl Twitter Client

I cannot open browser links in Twhirl anymore? Anyone have some ideas? I try opening a link and it does not open any new tabs in Firefox 2.0. Thanks for helping :)
