+<title>Setting the default browser</title>
+
+<!-- For GNOME2 the steps are to define the gconf keys /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http and /https -->
+
+<p>You can set the system-wide default browser in GNOME 3 under <guiseq><gui>Activities</gui><gui>Applications</gui><gui>System Settings</gui><gui>System</gui><gui>System Info</gui><gui>Default Applications</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+<p>If the prefered browser is set as default application but still does not work correctly please contact your distribution via their forum or bug tracker.</p>
+<note><p>GNOME 3 users with a technical background can tweak these settings by defining scheme-handlers in <file>$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list</file>.</p></note>
