From AbiWiki

AbiWord does not use the Gnome specified default browser.

Rather it first looks for the environmental variable "BROWSER". If the program name described by the environmental variable does not exist, then it tries to run browsers in the following order:

       1 konquerer
       1 mozilla
       1 netscape
       1 kdehelp
       1 lynx in an xterm

>== Using AbiWord with MozPlugger ==

Daniel Dekovic sent a modified MozPlugger configuration file ("mozpluggerrc") to the mailing list a while back. It enables Mozilla to display ABW, RTF, DOC, and SXW files using AbiWord.
