You may have set BROWSER in your environment or otherwise added a configuration file that overrides the (system-wide) alternatives to your home directory. Regards, Achim.

In my case, this was not successful. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2212948 As shown in this question, Firefox is already the default in update-alternatives, but the alternative that it consistently chooses is *not* the default. This makes me think that the alternatives system is perhaps poorly designed. Changing the default in org-file-apps to "firefox %s" for HTML -- that definitely works, by bypassing sensible-browser altogether. Thanks, Bastien, for the tip. hjh

If you want to change this system-wide, then: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display sensible-browser /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config sensible-browser will let you do this. Changing the priorities is also possible, but since the postinstall script will likely revert it to the packaged default on any update this is probably less useful.

Confirmed: my Emacs also uses this function. (And I didn't mess with *that* part of config;).) Maybe it's Ubuntu's fault?

[O] HTML export is using the wrong browser
OK, org is awesome, but sometimes it drives you crazy. I have just lost an hour this morning trying to figure out how to convince HTML export to open the exported file in Firefox, rather than Chrome. I noticed that C-c C-e h o was running "sensible-browser," and after half an hour's completely wasted effort trying to understand the update-alternatives system, the only thing I know is that Chrome's priority in the system is 200 while Firefox is 40. That explains why sensible-browser is choosing Chrome. But I can't find any example of a command that will change the priority of an existing link. So then I started poking around org options. I found that C-c C-o on an http hyperlink goes through browse-url, and I can configure browse-url-generic-program to Firefox, and C-c C-o does open such links in Firefox. Okay... but, C-c C-e h o *still* uses sensible-browser and opens it in the wrong program. I opened the complete org manual (all on one page) and searched the page for "browser." There is NO help anywhere in this document about the browser to use for HTML export. So then I found: (?o "As HTML file and open" (lambda (a s v b) (if a (org-html-export-to-html t s v b) (org-open-file (org-html-export-to-html nil s v b))) And, looking over the definition of org-open-file, and realizing I've spent *a whole hour* on this problem that should be a simple matter of setting ONE option, I conclude... this is way too much of a puzzle. So I give up. This should be a simple thing, so... can somebody please tell me a simple way to configure this? (Yes, I am frustrated.) hjh
