I too bashed my head on my desk everytime IE launched, rather than Chimera. That is, until 10.2.3. Ever since I did the upgrade, my web preferences have been in Harmony.

Safari, i guess, may help users not using 10.2.3, but I would suspect that it's pulling the IE trick, meaning that if you wanted say Mozilla to be the default, rather that Safari, you may do the same head bashing.

This of course is just a guess, since I think the issue if System related, not application related.

The default browser preference is now controlled through Safari. Launch Safari, go to preferences, or cmd-, and it's the first selection under general preferences. I don't know if you need to keep Safari around after you switch browsers.

What you say is true. I have installed Safari and now application use it over Mozilla. I can't even seem to uninstall Safari.

Any ideas?
