Change default browser for opening links?
On my Linux system, with Zotero standalone ver. 3.0, when I click a url or link or use the Locate... function, they open in FF. Is there a way to choose the browser that these sorts of things open in?
I suspect that, like me, you are *not* using GNOME as your window manager. GNOME has it's own GNOME-specific list of default applications. So in my case (using KDE) clicking on URL's opens Chrome, which is just what I want. But here's the kicker - Zotero looks up GNOME's default applications list to decide what application to use to open URL's. So I opened up a terminal and ran gnome-control-center and changed the default URL application to Chrome, restarted Zotero and it solved the problem for me.
I have KDE too and I'm running into the same problem. Is there a way to modify the default browser (used by GNOME, which I don't have) without installing gnome-control-center ?
Thanks!
by changing every occurrence of google-chrome.desktop to firefox.desktop .
Now it works!
