I'll go with the former. If you add WITH_MOZILLA=firefox to your /etc/make.conf file, then any browser ports that depend on mozilla like (on a GNOME system, anyway) galeon, epiphany, and yelp, will use firefox as their core instead. On the other hand, if you're running GNOME 2.12, you want to look under Desktop -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications. The "Web Browser" tab should be the first one to come up. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD6jdYUn6S0hqD4tsRAsaxAJ92xf1l7O8asrIrpd8XopctNz45/QCgoFxt ntREPQINROG86al3cqv/94I= =s68l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
