Hi Art,

I'm not at my Ubuntu computer right now... If you check in the Ubuntu
main desktop menu under "Preferences" or "Administration" (can't
remember which one), there is an item "Default Applications" I
believe. In there is where you specify internet default applications
(mail, web).

I think putting in "mozilla-firefox" for web should work (you can test
the commandline wording in a terminal shell first if you want).

HTH.

-Steve.
