Upon clicking the gretl website link in the about window, I got a
message regarding the unavailability of "mozilla" so I had to change
the web browser program to "firefox." Since most people are now using
firefox, shouldn't the default web browser be firefox?
Also, how can I add an url in my translation to be used in the about window?
Cheers

Well, that "most people are now using firefox" is hardly true. On the
contrary, 70-80% are still using MS Internet Explorer.

Well you are absolutely
right. I was talking about the default browser
in Linux. I think it is explorer in Windows but I need to check.

I am not using Linux or Mac, so I cannot check it, but since MS Internet
Explorer is not available on Linux or Mac it should of course not be the
default web browser on these operating systems.

Well you are absolutely right. I was talking about the default browser
in Linux. I think it is explorer in Windows but I need to check.
On Windows (ans OS X) gretl just asks the OS to open the URL; what
comes up depends on what you've selected as the default browser.
On Linux, if gretl is built against the gnome libraries it calls
gnome_url_show, which again uses whatever browser is selected by
the user.
Otherwise, on Linux "mozilla" is a standard, generic default for
various programs that want a browser. If you're running mozilla
firefox (as I am) create a symlink to "mozilla". (At one time
"netscape" played this role: programs wanting to show web pages
would call for "netscape" but if you were using something else
you'd just create a symlink.)

After checking on my home PC, I can confirm that this is handled
correctly by Ubuntu, via a symlink in /usr/bin.

Thanks for the clarification :-)
