Re: [Orgmode] Exporting and browsing

[Carsten Dominik]

What system are you on?  Under Mac OS X and under Windows, org-mode 
calls the program "open", which does exactly the same as 
double-clicking a file name.  So on these two system, you should make 
Firefox the default Browser on the system level.

On a Linux or Unix system, this uses the Emacs pachage mailcap.el, so 
the settings mailcap has will be used to determine the appropriate 
viewer.

Hope this helps.
