You can find a workaround in that forum thread.
Thanks, Akemi... and Ned. That worked!
I'm guessing google's spiders didn't get to that forum because it didn't come up in my search... or maybe it was after the third page or something. How did you come to know about this?
Well.. I am "toracat" in that forum thread. :-D
Also, this issue was talked about on this very mailing list. Please see :
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2013-December/139325.html
So it was. I'm going to forgive myself for missing it then though. The subject line was a little vague and the thread started out talking about a calendar app called lightning, which, since I don't use, so had no problem with, and am, pivotally, thoroughly ignorant about, I ignored. So, yeah, I recall seeing that and then hot dropping the entire thread into the bit bucket. :\ But it's impossible to read everything, right?
I note there now too that it was this list's esteemed member, Johnny Hughes, who posted the solution, in fact a better one (quite possibly) than the one on the centos forum previously cited: rather than specifying "firefox" in Preferences directly, the previously-mentioned "open-browser.sh" script/wrapper is specified. I just tried this and it does work also. And there is again coolness in the universe. :)
