Why do I get an error when I click a hyperlink in Mathematica that points to a page on the World Wide Web?

If Firefox is not set as your default web browser, Mathematica may not be able to open a web browser when you click a hyperlink or Help > Wolfram Webpage in the menu bar. To correct this, you can change the web browser to the one you prefer to use on your system.

1.

Open the following file in a text editor.

 

/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/6.0.1/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/SystemResources/X/Mathematica.conf

2.

Find the following line.

 

# default web browser WWWBrowser=firefox %s

3.

Change the browser. For example, if you prefer to use Mozilla, you can edit this line as follows:

 

# default web browser WWWBrowser=mozilla %s
