Menu > Settings > Setting Manager > Preferred Applications > Internet > Web Browser The application chosen there is the default browser. IIRC it only doesn't work for some apps. IIRC for Thunderbird the default browser can be set by Thunderbird's preferences and for some GTK apps it has to be set by gconf or dconf. Some users want that if a browser already is opened a click on a link should open a tab for the already opened browser. This IMO has got drawbacks for some workflows (browser with different settings en/disabled), but I once wrote an example script for a user who ask for this: $ cat .customization/default.browser.sh #! /bin/bash pidof midori case $? in 0) midori $*; exit;; esac pidof opera case $? in 0) opera $*;; *) firefox $*;; esac exit FWIW a nice alternative browser to Firefox is QupZilla.
