Thanks. I use BROWSER environment variable for that. It seems to even override XDG settings. % xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox.sh.desktop

Thanks. I use BROWSER environment variable for that. It seems to even override XDG settings. % xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox.sh.desktop xdg-settings: $BROWSER is set and can't be changed with xdg-settings % echo ${BROWSER} firefox Hope that helps. EDIT: You also got me nice idea - to add http(s):// and ftp:// support for mine see.sh opener :)
