Hi guys,

Hyperlink handling for org is kind of broken for me. Each time I click a hyperlink in an org file, it will create a new instance of Firefox. Does someone know how to change the browser (to Chrome, for example) and make it open subsequent links in the same browser instance, as tabs?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

as far as I know this is a general Emacs-issue, not an orgmode-issue; nevertheless, here's my (working) solution:
In your ~/.emacs, insert this (or something similar):

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic
browse-url-generic-program "firefox")

This opens a new Firefox-tab for me.
