[SOLVED] Changing default web browser in F15

fedoraist · #1 27th May 2011, 03:02 PM

Hi all,

I have updated from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15. I have both Firefox and Chrome installed. FF used to be the default browser, but since the upgrade, each time I click on a link somewhere (help pages, documents, terminal etc.) they are opened in chrome. How do I change it back to FF? Thanks!

System Settings -> System Info -> Default Applications -> Web

On my system there is no "System Info" menu. It is:

System Settings -> Workspace Appearance & Behavior -> Default Applications -> Web Browser
change to "in the following browser:"

After removing firefox I can not see any web browser in: System Settings -> System Info -> Default Applications ->Web. Chrome however is installed on the system.

Do you have Chrome or Chromium installed? You can directly type chromium-browser in the text box in that configuration dialog to set Chromium as default, I am not certain what the command for Chrome is.
