<title>Setting the default browser</title>
<!-- For GNOME2 the steps are to define the gconf keys /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http and /https -->
<p>You can set the system-wide default browser in GNOME 3 under <guiseq><gui>Activities</gui><gui>Applications</gui><gui>System Settings</gui><gui>System</gui><gui>System Info</gui><gui>Default Applications</gui></guiseq>.</p>
<p>If the preferred browser is set as default application but still does not work correctly please contact your distribution via their forum or bug tracker.</p>
<note><p>GNOME 3 users with a technical background can tweak these settings by defining scheme-handlers in <file>$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list</file>.</p></note>
<note><p>If the error message "Could not open the link: Operation not supported" is shown, you need to <link action="install:gvfs" href="http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gvfs/">install gvfs</link>.</p></note>
