Hello,
Recently I switched to LXDE coming from Gnome, and clicking an URL in an email doesn't open my browser anymore.
I searched gconf-editor to set my default browser app, and found some references to epiphany (that I changed to firefox), but that doesn't seem to have fixed it.
Anyone?

First and last *BUMP*
BTW: I'm using evolution to read my email.

I would like to learn how to change it as well. It keeps opening Epiphany.

I found the answer. Are you using gnome? If so, just go to Prefered Applications, then type in "firefox" instead of the whatever browser that you don't want.

Well,thanks for your answer!

Thx for your answer, but I'm using LXDE, not Gnome.

I think this has to be set up in your email program! I use claws-mail and there is an option for this. I think evolution is too much integrated into gnome to be able to do such a setting in the program itself, maybe it looks into Gnome's defaults, which you cannot set without the configuration tools of gnome.
My recommendations:
Use another mail programm, i.e. claws-mail, which I like pretty much.
Install Gnome (minimal installation), do the settings and uninstall it afterwards or let it on the machine, if it doesn't disturb you.

Yes, it looks like I should switch to another emailprogram, but at the moment I'm tied with hands and feet to evolution, since I'm using webcalendars and LDAP-contacts. Thunderbird + lightning is coming along nicely, but it cannot write to LDAP and claws-mail has calendar-support, but it is slow and the GUI to it is very arcane.
The gnome-settings are stored IIRC in gconf, and I cannot find the right entries
Zl.
/EDIT: thought about it and did a new search in gconf-editor and found out that I still had some references to a test-setup for firefox 3.0beta. This thread can be closed as it is solved. THX for your answers!
