   Which browser in your setup, cannot be selected ?   
      
   Is it a browser installed via PPA or is the browser   
   in the tree already?   
      
   You could mention the browser version if you like, just   
   so I can see whether mine is the same.   
      
   Even though visually, selecting a browser from a menu seems   
   blindingly obvious, my first suspicion as a cynic is the   
   "browser isn't a browser unless the .desktop says it is a browser"   
   and the problem is a "papers, please" type problem. A bureaucratic   
   issue rather than another kind of issue.   
      
   Use the "top" command and MAKE SURE no browsers are already running   
   when you use the menu. This is to rule out the possibility a running   
   browser is watching what you are doing, and changing the setting   
   back. There have been settings wars before on Windows, where   
   they play those sorts of tricks.
