Re: [Orgmode] bug or user error in org-file-apps

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Sam,

org-file-apps and the prefix argument to C-c C-o only apply
to "file:" links.  For other link types, there are other methods.
http, ftp, news, and mailto use browse-url, and so you need to configure
the corresponding browse-url-... variables to configure which browser  
should be used.

(setq browse-url-generic-program 'browse-url-w3)
