1) read   http://myxubuntu.blogspot.it/2013/10/chromium-browser-not-setting-as-default.html

I recommend always making a donation to Canonical, for their work.

I hope it's okay to post two questions in one post.  Sorry if this is
        incorrect.
        
        I'm a new user.  Just downloaded and installed Xubuntu for 32-bit
        systems.  It installed flawlessly.
        
        Two problems:
        
        1.  I use Chromium as my browser.  I can't seem to get it to know it's
        the default browser.  I have it set in the Preferred Applications.  With
        other distros, when I've had this problem, I had to uninstall Firefox to
        fix the problem.  I've done this, and it persists.  And when I click on
        a url in an email (I use Evolution), I still get the prompt to choose a
        browser.  Any thoughts on why this is happening?
        
        2.  I can't get videos to display correctly in Chromium.  I have
        flashplayer installed through Synaptic, but videos still won't display
        -- very nutty looking, strange colors, compressed images.  Any thoughts
        here, too?
        
        Many thanks from a new user.
