If this is not stock Debian - if it's running inside Android, if it's another packaged Debian variant - essentially, we can't help you. Without more information from you, we will continue to guess wildly. Reference to palemoon suggests to me this isn't stock Debian since stock Debian would include Firefox as default browser. There are hints in this thtread as to where to configure your default browser. Update-alternatives is probably your friend here. If all of this is just to run the Wikipedia cleaner application, then you may well want a GUI browser anyway to check how it looks to others in a GUI. (On the assumption that you are not otherwise dependent on a text-mode browser for web accessibility needs.) With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater
