Wolfgang Firefox is too big a drain on resources.

Indeed it's a full modern HTML5 capable browser. If you don't need that you might have some smaller options but compared to other browsers of the same league I'd like to see hard numbers if you got some.

e.g. chromium says: Chromium cannot determine or set the default browser. None of the google suggestions work:-(

Can it be done?

Thanks, L x Try Midori browser. It is lighter, faster and minimalistic too. It mostly appropriated for a lightweight desktop environment.

Regards, OMG that is so cute. Love it:-)

But, the question remains, how do I set it to be the default? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That is arguable. Not saying it's wrong, just arguable.

OK, we could discuss that later. All I need for now is to be able to click a link in an e-mail and open it with what I choose rather than Firefox. Any ideas anyone? L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I doubt LXDE has anything to do with this setting, since it doesn't have its own mailer (right?) Check the config of your mailer itself.

Indeed the main question is which mailer you are talking about. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

But it's also the case if I click a link anywhere else e.g. in a presentation.

Yes, but the way how apps figure out what to do differs. So the following should work for Thunderbird at least. Thunderbird asks Gio and if that fails GConf. For GIO the way to (manually) set the defaults is in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list Mine looks like this: [Default Applications] x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/news=thunderbird.desktop x-scheme-handler/snews=thunderbird.desktop x-scheme-handler/nntp=thunderbird.desktop [Added Associations] x-scheme-handler/http=seamonkey.desktop;firefox.desktop; x-scheme-handler/https=seamonkey.desktop;firefox.desktop; x-scheme-handler/news=thunderbird.desktop; x-scheme-handler/snews=thunderbird.desktop; x-scheme-handler/nntp=thunderbird.desktop; Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There can be several issues. Thunderbird can only use that if everything needed is installed. I (try to) attach a very small test application which will show us if Gio is working as expected on your system. Just call "gio-protocol-test http" You can also post the output of ldd /usr/lib(64)/thunderbird/components/libmozgnome.so to see if it can be loaded from Thunderbird. Wolfgang

Try: update-alternatives --help I used only "update-alternatives --config java" to choose java version, so it is just feeling that you need first: "update-alternatives --install <link> <name> <path> <priority>" for each browser you want to use, then "--config" to choose one.
