Tried both suggested solutions, no difference.
I tried both Iceweasel and Konq and while the command
update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
displays
There are 8 alternatives which provide
`x-www-browser'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
1 /usr/bin/iceape
+ 2 /usr/bin/dillo
* 3 /usr/bin/iceweasel
4 /usr/bin/opera
5 /usr/bin/chimera2
6 /usr/bin/xlinks2
7 /usr/bin/konqueror
8 /usr/bin/kazehakase
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type
selection number:
There is no change in the way that Boinc Manager acts
when it tries to open a web page.
Do I have to pretend I am running Windows and reboot?
