my org-mode mysteriously uses opera as default browser...

[LanX]

Hi

M-x browse-url works as supposed and opens urls in Firefox. But since
I installed opera on my ubuntu-system org-mode insists to use opera
instead of FF...

I already  checked "customize-group org-mode" and grepped thru all
my .el for "opera".
And FF is still the default of gnome.

Any suggestion what I can do?

Cheers
  Rolf

Hi

Ok just noticed this problem only occurs with my emacs 22. And sorry
it's not an org-mode issue, browse-url always uses opera... (?)

But emacs 23 works as expected!

(seem like installing Opera somehow changed the defaults, and emacs 23
knows how to handle this)


Since I'm anyway switching to 23, please don't mind! 8)

You should've checked the value of `browse-url-browser-function` option.

If not otherwise configured, org uses mailcap to choose the appropriate
application for a file.  It looks like this installation made opera your
default app for HTML-files, from mailcaps pow.

If you don't want to fiddle with mailcap, you can

(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.x?html?\\'" browse-url file))

and org uses Emacs default-browser.

Maybe this code helps:

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

I don't know if there is a special variable for org-mode.
