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.

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
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.
