Title:
I can't change the default web browser
Status in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
what you’re trying to achieve
The default browser is Mozilla Firefox. I want to change it to
Epiphany, because it starts faster.
what steps you take
I have changed the nominated default in System
Settings...-->Details--> Default Applications to Epiphany. (I have
also updated both /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname.) I have also followed
all the steps in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsers
which are
Setting Default Browser
In the command line, type sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-
browser
A list of installed browsers will be displayed with a different number
next to each browser. Type the number corresponding to the browser of
your choice.

what happens
However, if I right-click on a document of type 'HTML document
(text/html)', there is no 'Open with...' option, so I select 'Open',
and the web page opens with Mozilla Firefox. After carrying out each
of the above steps, I restarted my computer each time, and I have just
finished starting it again before writing this.
what you think should happen instead
If I right-click on a document of type 'HTML document (text/html)',
and select 'Open', the web page opens with Epiphany.
