Chromium very slow, Firefox OK

- How to open Firefox instead of Chromimum by clicking the "Web browser" or "Signal K" buttons in the top toolbar of OpenPlotter ?

Just add the Firefox icon to the Application launch bar and delete the Chromium one.

Right click on the task bar
Select Add/Remove Panel Items
Select Application Launch Bar
Select Preferences
Fro the right hand panel select Internet>Firefox ESR and click Add
Move it up or down as you wish

While you are there you can select the Chromium icon if you like and press delete

I never use the Signalk icon in the taskbar so I've deleted that too. Instead I have it bookmarked in Firefox (localhost:3000/admin/#/dashboard) and select it from there. However if you want to retain and use the signalk icon in the task bar and make it open Firefox you can do this:

Start>Preferences>Main Menu Editor
In the LH panel select Openplotter
In the RH panel select SignalK
Clickl Properties
Delete the text in the Command box and replace it with:

Code:

/usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr  http://localhost:3000

Note that if you do it this way it is possible that future updates to Openplotter will overwrite it. That's why I bookmark it in Firefox.
