Hi

I have been using Fedora Core 2 and have just installed Suse 10.0. I started using Firefox, but for some reason it does not automatically read pdf's. Therefore I am now using Mozilla 1.7.12 which does. My question is how do I change my default browser from Firefox to Mozilla?

I have found instructions:
Mozilla 1.x:
Select "Edit | Preferences" from the main menu in Mozilla.

Change to the "Navigator" tab/section.

Click the "Set Default Browser" button.

Click "OK".

Close all Mozilla windows (for best results, restart the system). Finally, restart Mozilla.

The only problem is under the Navigoator tab there isn't a set default browser button??

Can anyone help?
Thank you.

If your using KDE then you need to change the application order pref for .html files. Look under:

Configure your Desktop >> Components >> File Associations

It should be under "Text" on the tree. then you can view the default application order. just set Mozilla on top and it will become the default for htm, html documents...

HiKC,
Thank you very much for that, but I don't think it worked. I am using KDE. I did:-
Control Centre>kde components>file associations>text.

Mozilla was right at the bottom, so I moved it to the top and pressed apply.

I then logged out and back in again. I opened Mozilla and thunderbird and clicked on the link from linux questions on this topic. It opened Firefox. I was hoping it would open another Mozilla window or tab. That's is why I find it so irratating, I'm working in Mozilla, but because firefox is the default still, I am sending you this message through Firefox. It maybe be fine when the machine has been turned off and on again?

Hi
I still have this problem. When I click on links in Thunderbird it opens Firefox, although I have Mozilla set as default.

Anyway today I uninstalled Firefox. When I click on links in Thunderbird now nothing happens. So now I am copying links into Mozilla.

Is Thunderbird able to use Mozilla? Who would know where can I find out?

Is this what I need? Not sure what it means.

Mozilla tries to open Evolution when I click on email addresses. Would this help me to use the two programs together?

Try:

Configure your Desktop >> Components >> Web Browser

And then enter the path to your preferred default browser
