I want Chrome to be my default browser for everything. I don't want Firefox to open unless I want to use it explicitly.
- I've tried telling Chrome to set itself as the default
I tried the instructions here and got as output:
[georgemauer@ubuntu:~]$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser There are 2 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 auto mode 1 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/firefox 40 manual mode
Yet when I click a link in an empathy chat window or from the launcher it opens in Firefox! What gives?
I have rebooted many times and have been living with this for a week. Any ideas?
