Setting Firefox 3.5 as default browser system wide in ubuntu
Some applications like TweetDeck don't respect gnome preferred applications settings and continue to use the older Firefox 3.1 instead of the new one 3.5 when opening links.
This is because/usr/bin/firefox is currently pointing (like a shortcut) to /usr/bin/firefox-3.0To change this to 3.5 enter the following on the command line$ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefoxIf you want to change it back:$ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 /usr/bin/firefox This will work for Firefox 3.5 as well as Shiretoko 3.5
This will also fix same issues with other Adobe Air applications
