title: How to change the default browser used by the ipython/jupyter notebook in Linux?
body: <p>I'm on Linux Mint 17.3.</p>
  <p>How do I change the default browser used by the Jupyter notebook?</p>
  <p>I have installed the notebook as a part of Anaconda 3 and it opens up in my default browser—Chrome. But for some reason, Chrome won't let me make a new ipynb. Clicking the 'new' button simply doesn't do anything. So I copied the notebook url to Firefox and it works perfectly fine there.</p>
  <p>Is there a way I can make it work with Chrome? Otherwise, how do I change the default browser? The usual answer I've come across is that I have to change the <code>c.NotebookApp.browser</code> option, but I can't find a way to do so, since trying to find <code>ipython_notebook_config</code> in the terminal comes up with 4 results:</p>
