Nope, its determined first by the $BROWSER environment variable. Second (if you're in X) by /usr/bin/x-www-browser Third (if you're in X) by x-terminal-emulater -e /usr/bin/www-browser Lastly by /usr/bin/www-browser Just put export BROWSER=firefox in your .bashrc (and check .bashrc is included by .bash_profile) and things should start to work. Worst case scenario, you could use dpkg-divert to move /usr/bin/epiphany away and put firefox in its place. ======================================================================= > This email, including any attachments, is only for the intended > addressee.
