Dear all,

What's the correct way to set firefox default browser in gnome?

There're several places you can click a link:
1. in Emacs wiki mode. I add these these lines in
~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote:
[Mozilla]
filename=firefox
NEEDS_TERM=false
NREMOTE=ture

so the default browser is firefox.

2. in thunderbird, when I click a URL, it still opens epiphany.
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");

place this lines in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/__your_profile__/prefs.js


3. in command line of gnome-terminal, it also opens epiphany.
I don't use gnome
