meta: @Jonathan Bennett: you closed this with "Answered (and an Ubuntu issue rather than an OSM one)". Yes, it is specific to only a group of operating systems, but opening the right browser is important for mapping. This is a help site for mappers... so, please allow such questions here.
The point @aseerel4c26 is that it is not (or should not be) in any way JSOM specific - rather it is about how you tell Ubuntu your preferred browswer, and as such http://askubuntu.com/ would be the correct place to ask.
@TomH This is correct but an average user won't be able to know whether this is a JOSM-specific problem or a setting of his operating system. So he probably will try to find an answer here and it can't hurt to solve his problem by providing a working solution.
