[maximi89]

Hi, i have the problem, when i click in a link on any place, this open konqueror, my default browser is IceWeasel(Firefox), i use Debian testing, where i can make the iceweasel my default browser?
Thanks!

it depends on where your clicking if your in kmail and click a link it will probably open konqueror. You need to open kcontrol and set the open link setting to use Iceweasel instead of konqueror.

As a root,

Code: Select all

# update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

and choose iceweasel. LXDE simply uses the application "x-www-browser", which in fact is a symbolic link to whatever browser the admin chooses. Same goes for x-terminal-emulator .

I don't know how to do this on a per-user basis.

Ryo
