That's a new one. Fossil's probably trying each port in succession.

Try:
[odroid@host:~/fossil/cwal/s2/mod/termbox]$ f help set | grep browser
web-browser A shell command used to launch your preferred
web browser when given a URL as an argument.
fossil set web-browser /your/browser
Pass the -global flag to set it globally (can be overridden per repo, if
you like).
That ought to do it, i think.
