That depends on what it's installed. The browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser config only affect gnome desktop,=20 and after building from ports with WITH_SMB enabled (really, gnomevfs=20 integration). If you need a 'desktop integrated' browser, use the desktop default=20 (epiphany) or the tools in the desktop to configure this (default=20 apps). You can't reach a Windows like DefaultBrowser concept here, sorry. =2D- josemi
