Iron browser as default

[avstudio1]

Hello all,

Ubuntu 10.04 running on HP Compaq nx9600 laptop

I have a question re: Iron web browser. I downloaded the the latest iron-linux-32.gz

I unzipped the package to /opt/iron-linux-32
and I can run the browser with no problem from the command line
or from the gui. This is good.

However, how can I add Iron to the list of applicable browsers so that I can tell the OS to use Iron and not Firefox as default browser? Only Firefox is in the list of preferred applications.

there you can add a new starter with the command you define.

Yes I did this but it still doesn't allow the new menu item to be added to the list of Default Internet Applications.

I think I got it now, thanks.
