does it have anything similar to firefox's about:config?

ok. try changing it to true, then when firefox opens, tell it not
to be to see if that changes things.

i have never used anything for browsing other than firefox, so i
am not aware what will happen during opening with setting of true.

if it works, great. if not, then you need to ask thru support
for  xfce4.

i am tending to believe that it is a problem with xfce4 and not
a fault of fedora or firefox.

could be because you did not enter search word.

as tim said, it opens a search bar at bottom of window, where in
you enter search word/s.

when applied on page link above, it would find the description for
"checkdefaultbrowser"

all of which was so that you would see what settings do.

very well understand. links where for you to see how default is
set and how it is used.

i guess it was a bit of 'tmi'.

i know what a 'dildo' is, but i am not familiar 'Dillo', so i ask
if 'Dillo' has config settings to make it default?
