Greetings;

Icedove is using the Gnome(?) browser and I want to use Iceweasel.

I found a post from 2007 that said to use "update-alternatives
--config x-www-browser"
but although that "worked" it didn't work, even though I bounced
Icedove.

And I can't find any thing about wihich browser Icedove uses in any of
the preferences or about:config.

Anybody know the answer?


I found the following in /etc/icedove/pref/icedove.js:

// if you are not using gnome
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "x-www-browser");
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "x-www-browser");

Don't remember how these settings came in there, but I think you can
also set them in user.js or prefs.js in your profile directory.

Sven,

Thanks for the suggestion! Sometimes my brain needs a little 
prodding to get started down the right path.


I am using Gnome so ...

I found the correct option in Gnome: System > Preferences > 
Preferred Applications


When I changed that it took effect immediately!

Thanks!
Dennis

How to change Icedove default browser?

2008-12-21 Thread Dennis Wicks 

Greetings;

Icedove is using the Gnome(?) browser and I want to use 
Iceweasel.


I found a post from 2007 that said to use 
"update-alternatives --config x-www-browser"
but although that "worked" it didn't work, even though I 
bounced Icedove.


And I can't find any thing about wihich browser Icedove uses 
in any of the preferences or about:config.


Anybody know the answer?

BTW: Icedove=2.0.0.17 running on Lenny

TIA!
