Duff-Man says....this has been asked/answered many times. Oddly enough, you can change the default browser in Safari's preferences, in the "general" tab....oh yeah!
it's not bizarre...apple is trying to FORCE you to use Safari...I mean if you have to open safari just to adjust your internet settings...why bother with another browser ON TOP of that...apple will never learn.
So what happens if you trash Safari before changing the prefs?
Do a "get-info" on a HTML document and change the ''open with...'' settings?

You can also use the handy Preference Pane RCDefaultApp to do this. It also lets you easily change your default mail app, text editor, etc.
I might be mistaken, but I think I've heard Duff-Man sing its praises recently - Oh Yeah!

If you think that is bad, take a look at M$ and Internet Exploder.
Apple is sometimes exactly like M$ though.
Duff-Man says....yeah, RCDefaultApp is very handy for those little bits and pieces that just changing the default browser does not seem to reach....oh yeah!
