   Well if it works on some systems with some browsers, the problem is even   
   worse.   
   It seems! there are several ways to make a browser default and no matter   
   what way is used, - setting default browser in the menu is most obvious-   
   it should result in setting the default browser but it does not!   
   A workaround is opening a HTML file and select the browser you want.   
      
   Not being able to simply save a webpage anymore is more annoying.   
   I know I saved webpages before without a problem.
