Package: emacs23-common
Version: 23.1+1-5
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When I click on a HTTP URL in Org-mode, the message "No usable browser
found" is displayed. Until a few days ago, clicking on HTTP URLs
started Iceweasel.
Perhaps this problem stems from Debian's Iceweasel package having
recently eliminated /etc/alternatives/mozilla [1].
To work around this, I have added the following to my .emacs file:
(custom-set-variables
'(browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-generic))
'(browse-url-generic-program "x-www-browser"))
