Hello Marina, Yes, it was an OS setting. I got it sorted out and working. Thanks for your input.

Change default browser
I have OO-4.1.0 on Xubuntu Linux. I just installed it, and when I started up Writer, after a few seconds it presented me with a notification saying that there was updates for an installed extension. So I clicked on the button. After it found the extension update, I clicked on the Install button. The first time this happened, it then presented me with a list of installed browsers and asked me to select one. I clicked on "chrome", because I do have Chrome installed. It failed saying that it couldn't find the default browser. Now, every time I try to rerun the process, it doesn't present me with a list of installed browsers, it just fails, saying again that it can't find the default browser. So, I can't find where to change the default browser in Writer. Does anybody know? I tried renaming the profile folder, that didn't work, it still failed. -- Jerry - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
