You don't need the export line in .bashrc.
Just, "BROWSER="firefox".

Hi...
Thanks for help miqorz...
unforunately, no change... : (
as there is no stupid question in the newbie area, is there any issue w/ the " or ' ?
i've seen something somewhere looking like BROWSER='firefox' &
you wrote "firefox"... anyway, i've tried both but...
btw, as i don't have any idea of what it means, ~/.bashrc contains the following :
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[u@h W]$ '
doesn't look like browser related but ...
thanks in advance
cheers

try:
export BROWSER="firefox"
If you also want to set your default editor and pager, use the EDITOR and the PAGER variables.
As to:
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[u@h W]$ '
alias is a shorthand. Each time you type 'ls', bash interprets that as 'ls --color=auto'
PS1 is an enviromment variable to customize your prompt.
