The console can open a web browser to specific links. For example, from the Component Information window of a component there might be a link to its web advisory. Click the Browser button to see the advisory. Before you can do this, you need to configure the console to find your browser.
Start the console.
Select Preferences from the Tools menu.
The Preferences window opens, with the Console-Files preferences shown.
In Browser text box, type the name of the browser you want to use.
In the Path text box, type the path to the browser.
If you do not know the path, in a command-line terminal window, type the which browser command.
For example, which firefox might return /usr/local/firefox-installer/firefox.
