In my Wheezy machine I use Iceweasel 31.2.0 as my primary web browser.
I also have an Lenny version -- I think -- of Iceape installed because I
wanted a simple html composer. Unfortunately to have Iceape composer I
must install Iceape suite which also includes a browser.
So both browsers are mentioned in the x-www-browser section of
/etc/alternatives. The Iceape browser is the "auto" selection, and the
Iceweasel browser is listed as a "manual" alternative.
Command "update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" ostensibly allows
me to change to the preferred "manual" browser by selecting it. I did
so but when for example I want to go to a website mentioned in an email
(I use Icedove as my email client) the Iceape browser is still used for
that purpose. I tried exiting my user and logging in again -- and also
rebooting the machine -- to no avail. Checking the browser selection in
alternatives is still the one I selected, namely Iceweasel, not Iceape.
Is there something I need to do to make this change work?
Regards, Ken
