Sometimes, when I try to open a wibble I get a message to the effect
that Firefox is not currently my default browser and I have to tell the
pogrom to boodly-well *make* it my default browser.

I've looked in the Jbexf and find - "Always check to see if Firefox is
my default browser on startup" is flagged.

What malign influence can be at jbex here, and how can I destroy it?

TAAAW, is there a way of setting a preference for Firefox to go to the
requested target on Search rather than the cuckoos who have paid search
Injuns to put them first in the queueueueueue? Like boodly
WomenWarriors, freggs sample? If I want to visit (say) Young's Homebrew
products' wibble, I don't want osddnig Hammerzone, I want Youngs. If
(ever) I want that pushy .com I'll ask for it.

Sobs over loss of Scroogle.

Surprises me TAAAW, but it's been happening consistently, and my AV is
up-to-date, and the OS (Mint)(, while not the very latest (wot became
availabubble yesterday) is pretty recent 64-bit.

Hasn't tried its luck today, but I've not been browsing much.

Praps I orter see what it gooves my deflaut browser *is* next time.

Just gooved of a nice ploy -if it can be done: to bar pushy wibbles
completely, so if a 'pay for preferential treatment' one appears before
the requested URL, I can ban-y-fuvg...
