Setting the default browser in Linux
Posted by Sharar Ravitz in Default Browser, Linux on Monday, December 24, 2007
Links keep opening in Konqueror even though you've told Firefox to be your default browser? A solution:
From the terminal, type the command:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
It will show your available browsers:
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
1 /usr/bin/firefox
*+ 2 /usr/bin/opera
3 /usr/bin/iceape
Enter the number corresponding to the browser you wish to set as default.

What if I have only one browser. And get:
There is only 1 program which provides x-www-browser(/usr/bin/google-chrome). Nothing to configure.
