Description Mark D Dunn CLA 2007-01-26 10:43:46 EST 
Linux installs now come with Firefox by default.  We need to set the default browser on Linux to be Firefox (currently default on Linux is 'NONE' which causes problems.

Accept and put in estimate.
Comment 2 Mark D Dunn CLA 2007-02-26 10:11:49 EST 
Revising estimate. This is not as easy as I thought it was.
Comment 3 Mark D Dunn CLA 2007-03-22 12:17:02 EDT 
Retarget to 4.4 iteration 3.  I have finished this and waiting until iteration 3 to check it in.

Patch file for defect 171812.

This patch was created two weeks ago with base code from that time.  It is probable that it can not be applied cleanly to today's code base due to the number of changes that have occured since then. I may rework the patch so it can be cleanly added to i2 'frozen' code on the first day of i3.

Checked in on 4/17/2007.  Will wait for tomorrow's build before closing to test and make sure it works in a build.
Comment 6 Mark D Dunn CLA 2007-04-23 12:56:53 EDT 
I just verified that this now works in build 200704191232.
