   You know, you're right.  I've been on 222 for quite some time.   I just   
   changed mine to   
   chrome and clicked an html file and it still launched firefox.   
   In order to make it open chrome, I have to right click and do 'other' and pick   
   chrome and   
   'set as default' then launch.   Poor way to get around it.   
      
   I even edited a few config files once to force it that way.  .desktop files   
   someplace,   
   probably /usr/share/applications.
