That I fixed by moving konqueror to the top of the list. And the next link I tried, worked. But I haven't tried but one. We'll see. FWIW, I moved konqueror to the top of that list yesterday too, but iceweasel had been restored to the top of the list when I looked again today. I'll be watching it daily to see if it changes by itself again.
Does Iceweasel think it is the default? Did you tell it that it was at one stage?

About a week ago when I'd gotten tired of chromium's missfires. But that didn't fix much, so I put konqueror to the top of the list, but apparently it has a mind of its own.
I will not even run iceweasel before I check that again tomorrow.
Thanks you Lisi.
Edit -> preferences see screenshot.
Goodnight.
Lisi
I believe that is exactly what I saw the last time I looked at it, maybe 2 days back.
Thanks Lisi.

Is all well now?

I just ran iceweasel to check, it /thinks/ its the default! But in /etc/alternatives www-browser -> lynx and x-www-browser -> vivaldi
And, there is no reference to iceweasel anyplace in /etc/alternatives...
And I have never gotten a response from vivaldi, which is a link to a link to a link to a link, to yet another link till it finally winds up in /opt/vivaldi-beta/vivaldi running a bash script that 111 lines later calls vivaldi-bin. BUT one of its dependencies is a broken link to a google chrome library, but I don't have that installed, the rumors and readme's are poisonous. And from synatpic, its not shown as installed so I must have gotten it someplace else. All nuked. Then I installed the vivaldi-snapshot with synaptic, but its far from complete, no videos, just stills & no detailed story, just the headlines on cbsnews.com. Removed.
Then I reinstalled iceweasel, and it still thinks its the default browser.
But I can't find an editor for this in the TDE menu's. WTH? So I ran update-alternatives as root, but again no mention of iceweasel. I did update some things to the latest versions. though.
I am stymied, flaying about in the dark and capable of screwing things up royally. I thought maybe iceweasel would update its idea of who's the boss if I checked the box to check if its default at startup, shut it down & restarted it twice. It still thinks its king of the hill.
So where IS that setting, and WHO can change it?
