How to Change Default Web Browser and Email Client in Ubuntu
================================================================================
web browserUbuntu ships with a slate of default apps handily pre-installed, including Mozillas hugely popular Firefox web browser and Thunderbird e-mail client.

While both of these have their fans neither app is — shock — to everyones tastes or needs. We often get e-mails or tweets from people asking us how they can change the default browser in Ubuntu or set a different mail client as the handler for mail links, etc.
Were not just talking about installing a different bit of software here but also how you set it as the system handler for a given file, link or content type.
It is super easy to change a whole slate of default application including web, e-mail, text editing, music and videos players, in Ubuntu. The settings panel where you can make these changes isnt known to everyone, so well take a quick look.
### How to Change the Default Browser in Ubuntu ###
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/change-default-browser-in-ubuntu-750x402.jpg)
Mozilla Firefox is a solid, open-source and reliable window on the world wide web but its not everyones browser of choice. And thats fine.
To use a different default browser in Ubuntu you will first, rather obviously, need to install a new one. How you do this depends on the one you want:
- Open-source web browsers, like [Epiphany][1], [Chromium][2] and [IceWeasel][3], are available to install from the Ubuntu Software Center.
- Major web-browsers, like [Google Chrome][4], [Opera][5] and [Vivaldi][6], must be downloaded from each projects official website.
Whichever browser you choose, and however you choose to install it, once you have done so you can continue on.

To change the default browser for opening web links click on in other applications, e.g., instant messengers, Twitter clients, e-mail, etc, you need to use the Ubuntu System Settings tool.
You can launch System Settings a number of ways. One of the fastest is to the click the Cog icon in the far-right hand corner (far left on RTL systems) and select the System Settings menu shortcut.
1. Open System Settings
1. Select the Details item
1. Select Default Applications in the sidebar
1. Change the Web entry from Firefox to your preferred choice
Thats it.
### How To Change the Default Mail Client in Ubuntu ###
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/CHANGE-DEFAULT-APPS-UBUNTU.jpg)
Ubuntu ships with Thunderbird as the default mail application. This means the app will **open automatically when you click on an email address or a [mailto link][7]** in most web-browsers, PDFs, instant messengers, and so on.
This convenience is super handy if you use Thunderbird, of course. But a lot of us dont; we may [use a lightweight client like Geary][8], GNOME stalwart Evolution, or rely on a web-mail service like Gmail or Outlook.
To **change the default mail client in Ubuntu** from Thunderbird to another application open System Settings > Details > Default Applications. Click the drop-down menu next to Mail and choose your preferred client from the list.
To **set Gmail as the default mail client in Ubuntu** you must first install the gnome-gmail package by hitting the button below. Once installed open System Settings > Details > Default Applications. Click the drop-down menu next to Mail and choose Gmail from the list.

### Going Further ###
The same steps listed above can be used to make your favourite music player open when double clicking on a music file, have an application like VLC handle your .avi and .mp4 files, and so on.

如何在 Ubuntu 中更改默认浏览器和 Email 客户端
================================================================================
Ubuntu 自带了一些已经预装的默认应用程序,包括非常流行的 Mozilla 火狐浏览器和 Thunderbird 的 e-mail 客户端。
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/web-browser.png)
尽管这两个应用都有它们自己的粉丝,但是没有一个应用能符合每个人的口味和需要。我们经常收到邮件或者推文,询问我们怎样可以在 Ubuntu 上更改默认浏览器或者设置处理邮件链接的不同的电子邮件客户端等。
我们在这里不仅讨论如何安装不同的软件,还包括如何给一个特定的文件,链接或者内容类型设置系统处理应用。
在 Ubuntu 中更改默认应用程序,包括浏览器、电子邮件客户端、文本编辑器、音乐和视频播放器都非常的简单。但并不是每个人都知道更改这些的设置面板在哪里,让我们来快速看一下吧。
### 如何在 Ubuntu 上更改默认浏览器 ###
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/change-default-browser-in-ubuntu-750x402.jpg)
Mozilla 火狐浏览器是万维网上稳定、开源而且可依赖的窗口,但它并不是每个人的选择。这都没关系。
在 Ubuntu 上使用不同的默认浏览器,首先,显而易见,你需要安装一个新的浏览器。你该怎么做取决于你想要的浏览器:
- 开源浏览器,例如 [Epiphany][1], [Chromium][2] 和 [IceWeasel][3],可以从 Ubuntu 软件中心安装。
- 主流浏览器,例如 [Google Chrome][4], [Opera][5] 和 [Vivaldi][6] 必须从各自项目的官方网站上下载。
不管你选择哪个浏览器,不管你选择怎样安装,完成之后你就可以继续了。
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/system-settings-ubuntu-300x215.jpg)
点击其它应用上的链接例如及时通讯软件、Twitter 客户端、 e-mail要更改打开网页的默认浏览器你需要用到 Ubuntu 系统设置工具。
你可以用多种方法打开系统设置。其中一种最快的方式是点击右上角(RTL系统是左上角)的 Cog 图标并选择‘系统设置’菜单快捷方式。
1. 打开‘系统设置’
1. 选择‘详细’选项
1. 在侧边栏选择‘默认应用程序’
1. 把 Web 条目的 ‘火狐’ 改为你想要的选项
就是这样。
### 如何在 Ubuntu 上更改默认的邮件客户端 ###
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/CHANGE-DEFAULT-APPS-UBUNTU.jpg)
Ubuntu 用 Thunderbird 作为默认的邮件应用程序。这意味着 当你点击大部分浏览器、 PDF文件、及时通讯软件等上的 **电子邮件地址或者一个 [mailto 链接][7] 的时候会自动打开** 这个应用。
当然,如果你使用 Thunderbird这真的很方便。但是我们很多人并非如此 我们可能**[使用像 Geary 这样的轻量级客户端][8]**GNOME stalwart Evolution或者依靠像 Gmail 或者 Outlook 这样的网络邮件服务。
在 Ubuntu 上从 Thunderbird **更改默认邮件客户端** 到另一个应用程序,打开系统设置 > 详细 > 默认应用程序。点击下拉菜单到 Mail 并选择从列表中选择你喜欢的客户端。
**在 Ubuntu 上设置 Gmail 为默认的邮件客户端**,你首先需要点击下面的按钮安装 gnome-gmail 软件包。安装完后打开系统设置 > 详细 > 默认应用程序。点击下拉菜单到 Mail 并选择从列表中选择 Gmail
- [在 Ubuntu 上安装 GNOME Gmail][9]

上述同样的步骤可以用来设置你双击音乐文件时打开你喜欢的音乐播放器,用比如 VLC 应用程序处理 .avi 和 .mp4 文件,等等。
