I am running Sage 4.8 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have been using Safari as my default browser, but I am getting discouraged because Safari crashes frequently.
All of my bookmarks and ways of browsing the web are in Safari, so I want to keep Safari as my default browser, but I am switching to Firefox when using Sage. According to the Sage document http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sagenb/notebook/notebook_object.html I can override the default browser by putting export SAGE_BROWSER="firefox" in the file .bashrc in my home directory. This I have done. It has no effect. When I issue the command notebook() at the sage: prompt, the notebook still starts up in Safari. I have to kill Safari and then start Firefox manually (where I have set my home page to be http://localhost:8000). It's annoying. Is there any way to get this documented feature to work as advertised?
