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. :) tnx++
