For example, you can specify a web browser application (Epiphany, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera) to start when you click a link in other applications such as email clients or document viewers.
To access this preference tool, choose System → Preferences → Preferred Applications.
You can customize the preferences for the Preferred Applications preference tool in the following functional areas:
Internet (Web, Mail)
Multimedia (Multimedia Player)
System (Terminal)
Accessibility (Visual, Mobility)
For each preferred application category, you can choose from a list of possible applications. The list depends on the applications installed on your computer.
In each category, the last item in the menu (Custom) enables you to customize the command used by the system when the specific launch action occurs. The following table summarizes the various options that you can choose when you select Custom.
