I'll show here to set it as a selectable application in the System Settings/Details
At the beginning the following selections are available:
The key to adding a new 'Default Application' is simply making sure that it appears in the MIME file type associations. And one way to do that is to create a .desktop file and use update-desktop-database to read it:
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop sudo sed -i 's/Iceweasel/Firefox/g' /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop sudo sed -i 's/Exec=iceweasel/Exec=firefox25/g' /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop sudo sed -i 's/Icon=iceweasel/Icon=firefox/g' /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop sudo update-desktop-database
Once that's done we get the following:
You can then set up a shortcut launcher, e.g.
(you could of course just have it execute the command directly, but what's the challenge in that?)
