I'm using Devuan Jessie on my laptop, currently doing web stuff with
Iceweasel. Yes, even online banking.

I used to use chrome, but Google dropped support for chrome on my
machine, since its a 32-bit Intel system.

Anyone know how to tell roxterm not to use chrome as its default
browser? I've told xfce, and it's now calling firefox, but roxterm
still thinks that when I mouse onto a URL and click "open in browser"
that I soud use chrome.

I'd like to try Midori, but it lacks a few features I use extensively
when browsing my own file system -- such as sorting directories
alphabetcally, so it's easier to find files in the list, instead of
randomly.
