default browser - SOLVED

[Henri-Paul Indiogine]

Dear fellow org-moders,

this is what was suggested to me:

(setq browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-generic))
(setq browse-url-generic-program "chromium-browser")

works perfectly on Ubuntu Karmic + Emacs 23.1.1.

Again, thanks for org-mode.

Thank you Henry-Paul,

You solved for me a quite annoying issue related to org that I could not
solve!



For those who use firefox these two lines become:

(setq browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-generic))
(setq browse-url-generic-program "firefox")


Simply copy and paste it!!

Thanks Nick,

For me it seems strange this behaviour.

When I have firefox already open, it creates another tab for the URL and
does not open a new firefox instance.

Rather than browse-url-generic, I use the built-in browse-url-firefox:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox)
(setq browse-url-firefox-new-window-is-tab t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The second setting ensures that links are opened in new tabs if firefox
is running.

Best,
Matt

How about clicking on a URL in org-mode or other text file and having
w3m pop-up?

Thanks,
