getting OOo to use Firefox
As indicated in another thread, I've recently switched to Enlightenment
from Gnome due to the keyboard mapping bug (I'm still going to test out
a workaround, but I need to get work done in the meantime...)
I'm finding out that gnome was doing a good amount of linkage for me.
In particular, I used to be able to click on a weblink in a spreadsheet
and have it opened in Firefox. Not anymore. OOo complains:
"OpenOffice.org could not find a web browser on your system..."
I've checked into the /etc/alternatives system and firefox is my chosen
browser for x-www-browser. OOo doesn't seem to give me a spot to enter
an application for handling www, so I can't just slap a path to a binary
into a config anywhere (unless I've missed something -- which I could
have). I've googled quite a bit about this and I can't seem to come up
with a solution. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
