Hi Nick, you deserve a medal. As I did experiment with xdg-open (never
needed to fiddle with that before), adding a line to my mailcap file
(also never was manually edited before. Perhaps once, for mc) and
restarting emacs made the browser open again. A thousand thanks to you,
not only for solving my immediate problem, but also for your concise
explanations. Cheers! Sven. Message: 11 Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:02:25

That function might have existed in org 7.9.x and earlier, but the exporter
underwent major restructuring in the org 8.0 release and a lot of things
were changed/renamed. The current version does this for C-c C-e h o:

(org-open-file (org-html-export-to-html <args>))

org-html-export-to-html writes an HTML file and org-open-file opens it.
See the doc string for the latter: C-h f org-open-file RET

You might have to customize org-file-apps to override the default for
the HTML file type (although see below first). For me, the default is
"mailcap" (determined through the system specific variable
org-file-apps-defaults-gnu - the default is the "t" entry), so it uses
the entry in ~/.mailcap or /etc/mailcap (if it exists). Mine says:

text/html; /usr/bin/google-chrome %s

so it opens it in chrome.

The problem here is that there are too many cooks in the kitchen. I
prefer to leave things at default as far as org is concerned and use
mailcap (which is used by other applications as well). Other people
prefer to hardwire things into org-file-apps which is fine for org but
of course it is not used by any other applications. Other people prefer
to route everything through their desktop environment's Open function
(e.g xdg-open for Gnome) which uses its own routing mechanism (generally
different from mailcap).

I suggest you pick *one* method and stick with it through thick and
thin: ignore everything else. Using more than one leads to madness.
The path of least resistance is probably customizing org-file-apps.
