One thing I should point out about using BottomFeeder on Linux (or Unix) - there's no way (that I know of) to specify a "default" browser. On Windows or Macintosh, Bf will - if you spawn a browse request - sent that request to the default browser. On Linux or Unix, the default browser is WithStyle, the browser we use in the html pane. Now, WithStyle is a good tool for basic browsing, but it's not a full browser replacement by any stretch (nor is it intended to be). Here's what you do:

• Open System Settings
• Go to the Browsing tab
• In the input field, specify a browser (or a script that launches one)

After that, browse requests (unless you specify Bf as the destination) will go to the external browser.

Update: as it happens, there was a bug. Grab the latest update for the browsing component (named Browsing-Assist in the update tool), and it should be resolved.
