Somehow I had messed up preferred application to open a file.
I fixed by selecting a file of appropriate type, selecting Properties,
and setting preferred application.
That solved almost all my problems.
The only exception is when using Synaptic.
When I click on "Visit Homepage" it insists on using Firefox :<
It used to open properly with my preferred browser SeaMonkey.
All other HTML open correctly with SeaMonkey.
Is another place I need to set preferences?

You can check what is set as default in "update-alternatives" configs
for browsers available in your system:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
and
$ sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser
I avoid "sudo" [with prejudice]
I did
richard@fromdell:~$ su
Password:
root@fromdell:/home/richard# update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
There is only one alternative in link group x-www-browser (providing
/usr/bin/x-www-browser): /usr/bin/firefox-esr
Nothing to configure.
root@fromdell:/home/richard#
root@fromdell:/home/richard#
root@fromdell:/home/richard# update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser

That tells me "something" P.S but what?
Educate me -- What should I be reading?
