After Automatix : links in Pan don't invoke Firefox

[Question Authority]

Hello.
Appended Ububtu 5.10 via automatix;
now links in Pan articles won't open in Firefox 1.5,
which was updated via automatix.

Any ideas ?
Thanks,

You've checked Edit-Preferences-Apps and mail, have you?

In Pan

Edit / Preferences / Apps & Mail

What do you have in the web browser setting? Can you run same in a
terminal successfully?

Hello.
Changing settings in /../../apps+mail has no effect in anabling links in
messages in Pan.
'Firefox" was not a choice in those settings.
Choosing " terminal" had no noticeable effect.

Correction: " xterm -e w3m " option opened up webpage in terminal window.
Still no web browser enabled.

And you changed it to what to make that determination?

Did you try taking what was there (you still havent told us what _is_
there) and pasteing it to the command line? Did you try typing over what
you saw above to something that will work?

That did it! Thank you David + Gordon.
I simply typed " Firefox " in " web browser " window in "apps+mail"window
(but no " %s " etc. as other choices had).
I'm curious as to why udating Firefox to 1.5 via Automatix would require
me to amend the above setting to acquire links in messages. ??
