Do this as your user account not ROOT or SU:

Open a terminal and enter this command

gnome-default-applications-properties

In the drop down box choose Mozilla/Netscape 6

If that does not work try the following.

check 'Custom Web Browser' Enter this in Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"

Thanks Chuck. I'll give that a try.

I am using ULB GNOME on SUSE 9.0. I can't get changes I make in the Preferred Applications area of GNOME Control Center to keep. For example, I want Mozilla (as opposed to Epiphany) to be the default browser (such as when clicking on links in Evolution). If I make the change in Preferred applications then exit when I open Evolution and click on a link...Epiphany opens up.

Going back to Preferred Applications, I see Mozilla/Netscape (although greyed out).

Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?

Thanks.

Are you sure you are not running the command as root or when you are su to root? It took me several tries before I realized that I was running in a console that was su to root. You need to run it as your user account. I used the gnome-moz-remote --newwin "s" option with a ftp install of 8.2. After I upgraded to 9.0 Pro I had to switch to the Mozilla/Netscape 6 in the dropdown box. I should mention that I uninstalled the SuSE default installation of Mozilla and Epiphany and installed the 1.5 version of Mozilla from usr-local-bin.org. Also I did not install Galeon when I first installed 9.0 so it was not present when I ran the gnome-default-applications-properties command. You might try uninstalling Galeon then updating Mozilla to the 1.5 version then try again. BTW I installed the verison of Galeon from ULB later and it did not change my default setting.

In Gnome - Start Here - Desktop Preferences - Advanced - File Types and Programs. Under Internet Services - Unknown Service Types, enter "mybrowser %s" I did it for Mozilla Firebird with no problems. David -- Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur

That's because if you've not personally set a setting, then the system default is used. Installing ULB-GNOME sets the default GNOME browser to be Galeon.

I'm still using the default SuSE version of Gnome so I don't know if this will work but... If Carl were to un-install Galeon then run the gnome-default-applications-properties command would he be able to choose Mozilla as the defaut browser and have it stick? If he then re-installed the ULB version of Galeon would it reset the default browser back to Galeon?
