Hi all,
Subject says it all.
I've gone through every option I could find, right clicked everything,
grepped through .nautilus and .gnome2* and haven't the slighted idea why
nautilus insists on opening Chrome when the system default is set to
Firefox.
(IMO Chrome isn't ready for prime time: the Firebug extension for it is
a joke, its UI is tedious; it may be faster at some things but its
shortcomings *way* overwhelm any of its benefits.)
Any takers?
TIA,
Mike Wright

On a Gnome desktop:
System>Preferences>Preferred applications
Is this you need?

Using it for what? Reading HTML files, or something else?
Usually, you can right-click on one of the types of files you want to
configure options for, and the pop-up properties window gives you a list
of open-with choices.
I don't know of a central manage all my filetype options for Nautilus
either, and there are times where it would be useful. Especially if you
could simply back up its configuration file, and import it later on
(restoring settings, or cloning settings on other installations).

Sorry for the late input.
If you're finding it not ready for prime time why not simply yum' erase
it?

It appears that the Chrome installation (some one correct me if I'm
throwing blame the wrong way) sets the default application to handle
.html files to itself.
I opened nautilus and went to a *.html file, right clicked on it and
then selected "Open with". From there I was able to chose Firefox again
(Chrome had been selected). After this step (so far) Nautilus is opening
my HTML files with the "right" browser.

Thanks for the help.

I came to the same conclusion :)
I opened nautilus and went to a *.html file, right clicked on it and
then selected "Open with". From there I was able to chose Firefox again
(Chrome had been selected). After this step (so far) Nautilus is opening
my HTML files with the "right" browser.
I eventually found that, too. I was blaming Nautilus for Chrome's
Naughty behavior.
