    begin quotation of Jason D. Berg on 2004-08-20 14:12:33 -0700:

    I have a line in my .bashrc:

    export BROWSER="/usr/bin/firefox"

    It doesn't work for all applications (to be honest, I'm not sure which
    ones it works for), but in addition to the application-specific
    settings mentioned in another post you may want to give this a shot.
