Currently my alpine client defaults to opening the text-based
xlinks2 web browser.

How do I change that to using firefox for opening URLs?

I'm running alpine on antiX Linux. TIA ...

Hello Sidney, if you go to setup and then config from the main menu (S and
C), scroll down until you find URL-Viewers (or you can search for it with
W).

This is what I have there:

URL-Viewers = /home/db/Programs/firefox/firefox
--new-tab --url

I hope it works!

Best regards,
Daniel

Thx Daniel! I'll give it a try.
