Re: default web browser



The method depends on whether you're using Gnome or KDE; but since you mention konqueror, I assume you're using KDE. From the K menu, open Control Center. In the left pane, expand KDE Components, then choose Component Chooser. There you can set your default browser and mail client, plus a couple of others. You don't say what distro you're running, but I think it'll be roughly the same, unless you're running a very old KDE version. I'm running Fedora 5.

If you're using Gnome, go to System, Preferences, More Preferences, and choose Preferred Applications.

I'd like to set a general default web browser in my linux box; I
already specified it via the konqueror settings but mozilla mail still
launches mozilla when i click on a link in the mail message. i tried to
search about how to specify a default browser in mozmail but no way.
