Hmm .. personally I would never use those "canned desktop solutions"
(nor any canned desktop, I am happy with fvwm). Myu url-voewers currently
points to /usr/bin/palemoon, mny favourite browser.

In the past I recall I had a wrapper script there

Anyhow, press M S C to go to config editor (.pinerc), locate url-viewers,
and press ? for help. Then experiment. I am no sure I ever tried with more
than one browser, and whether there is a way to choose and cycle through a
list.
