How to set / verify the default browser?.
by Camello from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QS8G)
Hi,
Palemoon is my main browser and not even appear here while checking it with these commands. The only thing that i think could be the reason for such problem is that i'm Debian user and Palemoon is not at the repos, then, which are the right command for me in this case?.
Thanks for any help.
Code::~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password:
:~# LANG=C update-alternatives --list x-www-browser
/usr/bin/chromium
/usr/bin/firefox-esr
/usr/bin/vivaldi-stable
:~# LANG=C update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
There are 3 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).
Selection Path Priority Status

1 /usr/bin/chromium 40 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/firefox-esr 70 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable 200 manual mode
Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
