I tried both in 8.2 and still clicking links in evolution calls up gaelon. When I first started using evolution mozilla was default. I never changed any settings knowingly.

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.

This is how I did it for the default SuSE Gnome installation.
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"
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.
