Default Can I change the default browser launched ?

Using Zimbra is nice but I find it annoying that there is not an option to change the browsers settings to support firefox or ie instead of the popup window that launches and renders html. Some of the sites dont render correctly when using flash or javascript. Is there a way to change the default browser setting so it can invoke and external browser like firefox ? Im on Ubuntu Linux.

Yes it is FireFox 3. Im on Ubuntu 8.0.4 linux . Where in the settings can I verify that Mozilla Firefox is the default browser. Im on Zimbra Desktop build 090_1278 linux i686 version.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061013 Prism (zdesktop/0.90)

well, if you run firefox and go to options, you should find a place to set it as default.

Went to Edit --> Prefrences ---> Advanced --> General --> System Defaults has the "Always check to see if Firefox is default" selected. Any other ideas ? Is there a properties file in Zimbra that I can manually edit to force it to select Firefox ?
