Hmm, I don't know about the version of gnome in potato, but in sid (gnome 1.4) you would open gnome control-center. Locate the URL handlers entry under Document Handlers. For protocols "http" and "https" set commands to use to < mozilla "%s" > or < galeon "%s" > (without the arrows). Other things you can do: protocol ftp set to < gftp "%s" >, mailto to evolution "%s" (this won't work for mozilla mailto: URLs though, only galeon) if you have those installed. -- I did not vote for the Austrian government
