Hyperlinks broken not calling the web browser [Linux version]

[nyjetshead]

I upgraded from F14 to 16 and now none the hyperlinks call the browser up.
I installed the newest version 7.1.2. after I upgraded.
I'm assuming that application preferences is where you set this but there is nothing listed

Reinstalled ZD
When I clicked on a hyperlink it asked what application to use to open the link in my case it's google chrome.
Pointed it to /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

bingo!

Does anyone know if the default browser preferences can be modified at a later time without re-installation of ZD?

Anyone? please? Is there anyone else using ZD on Linux that is having the same issue?

It depends which versions of linux is in use. If you use Ubuntu, this will probably do it:

You could modify this search to add the name of your favourite distribution:

+"how to" +linux +"set default browser" - Yahoo! Search Results

Thanks but still does not work for me. For some reason, it is not opening up my default browser which I assigned as Chrome via command line from the link you provided, and from GUI (system settings --> system info --> default applications --> web ). I suspect the issue is beyond ZD perhaps my linux GUI profile is fubar'd
