I have put (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-mozilla) in both ~/.xemacs/custom.el and ~/.gnus but whenever I click on a link in rss://whatever it still brings up the link inline via w3 or w3m. I wouldn't mind using w3/w3m (what is the difference between the two of these?) but 1) as slow as firefox is loading up I think w3 is slower 2) W3 does not load a lot of the pages properly Maybe part of this is my configuration of W3 but until I figure it out I would prefer to use firefox as my default browser. Perhaps there is a way to have xemacs ask me which browser I want to use (firefox or w3m) when I RET on a link? Or, perhaps I can add some conditions for either firefox or w3m to load when in a certain RSS group? Any thoughts? I know just enough about lisp to be really dangerous! Wish one could use perl or python instead (no flames please :) Not that good with these but at least a little more knowledgeable.
