Thread: how to change my default browser from mozilla

sir

how to change my default browser from mozilla ff 3 beta 5 to mozilla ff 3.5.1??

i can change java version by alternative -install and alternatives --config command.


is that similar procedure for mozilla ff??

It depends upon the confuration you are using. In *nix everyting is controlled by plain text files. system level settings are specified in /etc/profile. User profile will be in /home/username and specific shell assigned to the user. You chan change the path to ff in /etc/profile so that it point to the correct version which will be in /usr/bin (link to actual folder/file)

Hi matrix..nice ..actually I have no knowledge or familiar with this things..and your response to this give me the idea on how to do it if ever i will decided to change mine..thanks

You can go through :
IE-Tools-Internet Options-Programs.
Check the box "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the
default browser"
Close IE and reopen it.
