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

Re: Change default browser
Hello Jerry,
I'm not familiar with Xubuntu Linux, but in other operating
systems, the "default browser" is a system-wide setting. So you
should be able to change it through whatever tool Xubuntu Linux
offers for controlling system preferences.
HTH,

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

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.

RE: Change default browser
I think the "default browser" applies to the operating system (Windows/Linux/etc), not an application (such as Apache OpenOffice). Maurice -Original Message- From: "J.

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.
