Say what?
If you have Chromium installed, there is an option in its Preferences dialogue to make it the default browser. I have seen situations where that option is greyed-out, though, for some reason.
If Firefox is really gone (run Bleachbit!), Chromium should "know" it's the default.

I tried bleachbit but still no luck...... Chromium option to set as default is greyed out. I have html documents set up to open with Chromium under "Properties" and "open with" so this seems to be particular to Evolution email links????
If this is my biggest problem today with Bodhi I am very happy!!

Try running 'exo-preferred-applications' in a terminal. Not sure if this is installed with Bodhi, but it does allow settings the default apps used for Browser, etc, etc

I tried your suggestion but it didn't work for me.
I am still unable to get Chromium to start as the default browser in Evolution. For the time being I will just leave Firefox installed and let it do the browsing.
Thanks for the help
