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?

Thanks Lisi.

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.
