Hey everyone! I just decided to switch RSS Readers from Blam! (which is very simple and good, but lacks folder support) to RSSOwl (which has.... everything). I looked through some of my feeds and was incredibly dissappointed with the lack of HTML support. So I did some research and fixed it. Here's how:
1: Install mozilla-browser
sudo apt-get install mozilla-browser
2: Change run.sh in your rssowl directory to:
#!/bin/sh
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${MOZILLA_FIVE_HO ME}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
java -Xmx134217728 -Djava.library.path=. -jar rssowl.jar
3: In RSSOwl, go to Tools-->Preferences-->View
4: In the "Misc" section, check "View newstext in browser"
5: Go to Tools-->Preferences-->Browser
6: In the "Please enter path to executable" box, enter the path to your exectuable (lol). This is the app that you want to use to open in an external browser, so I wanted to use firefox. My path was "/usr/bin/firefox" but that's not default. With a new system, it could be "/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox"
7: At the bottom, check "use external browser"
8: You're Done!
