I tend to set this using:
update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
This will show a numbered list of installed browsers, from which you can
select the number corresponding to your desired web browser. From memory, you
need to run this as root.
Although, as others have pointed out, some apps hold app specific settings,
thus they might also need to be changed.
Kind Regards,
Jaime

Hello Star,
If you are interested in something more "instant" than mailing lists you
might want to try the #debian IRC channel on irc.debian.org

There is also a group chat on XMPP (aka Jabber aka Google Talk, et.
al.). It's XMPPID is debian@conference.jabber.org

Did you try to join #debian before? Is there any other message?

P.S. Putting this back on list as others may have better ideas

There are plenty of chat groups on conference.jabber.org. Very few
active ones. Is that one actually active?

"Busy" as in 9 users, and occasionally one of them asks a question
