Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: ,----[ C-h f browse-url-default-browser RET ] | browse-url-default-browser is a compiled Lisp function in | `browse-url.el'. | | (browse-url-default-browser url &rest args) | | Find a suitable browser and ask it to load url. | Default to the url around or before point. | | When called interactively, if variable `browse-url-new-window-flag' is | non-nil, load the document in a new window, if possible, otherwise use | a random existing one. A non-nil interactive prefix argument reverses | the effect of `browse-url-new-window-flag'. | | When called non-interactively, optional second argument NEW-WINDOW is | used instead of `browse-url-new-window-flag'. | | The order attempted is gnome-moz-remote, Mozilla, Firefox, | Galeon, Konqueror, Netscape, Mosaic, Lynx in an xterm, and then W3. | | [back] `---- The only thing that is related to 'default' is it uses url around point by default. But the name is misleading, for example, emacs-w3m uses it to open a default external browser, but it will open bizarre browsers on OS X or Windows. I wonder if the function name can be improved, for example, browse-url-try-browsers. Thanks. Leo
