Throughout the 4.x series of the Xfce Desktop Environment, there
12
12
was no easy way for users to set their preferred applications, i.e.
13
13
the Web Browser that should be used to open hyperlinks. The
27
27
Browser will be used to open hyperlinks that you click on and
28
28
to display the documentation, whereas the Mail Reader will be
29
29
used to compose mails.

<span class="guimenu"><strong><span class="guimenuitem"><strong>Other...</strong></span></strong></span> from the

The special marker <code class="literal">%s</code> in the command will be

running just the preferred Web Browser without any URL, i.e.
