How do I make sure firefox is not accessed everytime I click on software news in the welcome window?

Just updated package eos-bash-shared to version 23-4.

With this version you can configure which web browser to use in welcome and some other EOS apps (not all EOS apps support this yet).

File /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf has a new configuration EOS_PREFERRED_BROWSERS where you can list web browsers in your favorite order. First in the list it the most preferred, and you can list your favorite browser there as well.

To see the new list in that file, you need to merge the related changes from the end of file
/etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf.pacnew.
You can do the merging e.g. with this command:

sudo meld /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf.pacnew

or

su -c "meld /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf.pacnew"
