                          How do I set a manually downloaded Firefox as my default web browser so that clicking a link in another application will open the link in this Firefox?

I tried these commands, but they didn't seem to work:

    update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /home/user/firefox/firefox 100
    update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /home/user/firefox/firefox

What do I have to do?
