View source for How to set a default program

There are several ways to set a default program on your system, depending on several things. I'll describe the most common here.
----
'''Firefox'''<br/>
Go to ''Edit > Preferences > Applications''. Find the file type you need from the list and change the default action/program.

'''Thunderbird'''<br/>
Go to ''Edit > Preferences > Attachments''. On the ''Incoming'' tab find the file type you need from the list and change the default action/program.

'''Desktop environments'''<br/>
Open your menu and go to ''Preferences > Preferred Applications''.

'''File explorers'''<br/>
Right click the document of your choice and select ''Open With Other Application...''. A list appears with your installed applications; select the one you want. If your program of choice is not listed, you can select ''Use a custom command'' and enter the path to (or browse to) the executable of your program. Don't forget to check the ''Remember this applications for "<file type>" files'' if you want to make it the default.
