Public bug reported: what you’re trying to achieve
The default browser is Mozilla Firefox. I want to change it to Epiphany, because it starts faster. what steps you take I have changed the nominated default in System Settings...-->Details--> Default Applications to Epiphany. (I have also updated both /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname.) I have also followed all the steps in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsers which are Setting Default Browser In the command line, type sudo update-alternatives --config x-www- browser A list of installed browsers will be displayed with a different number next to each browser. Type the number corresponding to the browser of your choice. defbrowser.png what happens However, if I right-click on a document of type 'HTML document (text/html)', there is no 'Open with...' option, so I select 'Open', and the web page opens with Mozilla Firefox. After carrying out each of the above steps, I restarted my computer each time, and I have just finished starting it again before writing this. what you think should happen instead If I right-click on a document of type 'HTML document (text/html)', and select 'Open', the web page opens with Epiphany. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166017 Title: I can't change the default web browser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1166017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
