default browser in OpenBox

Is there a way, in one of the XDG files perhaps, to tell apps what browser to use?  Some apps detect I'm using Icecat and others don't.

Thanks!

Re: default browser in OpenBox

I always define such things in pacmanfm or thunar.
Right click on a sort of file that you want opened with the browser, in this case probably htm and or html or xml
and select properties  and select the program/browser you want.

What apps are you talking about?

hotot - which is a twitter/status.net client, and a couple others that don't let you specify a browser in their preferences.
