Change the Default Browser for Jupyter Notebooks in OS X

Step 1. Create an editable config file for Jupyter notebooks.

To do this, open Terminal and type:

jupyter notebook --generate-config

This generates the file:

~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

Step 2. Open and edit the new config file.

Find the block for # import webbrowser.

Remove the hash mark for the next line c.NotebookApp.browser = ''

Update the line by supplying the open command and correct path for your desired browser.

For Firefox:

# import webbrowser
c.NotebookApp.browser = u'open -a /Applications/Firefox.app %s'

For Google Chrome:

# import webbrowser
c.NotebookApp.browser = u'open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app %s'

Save the new file. Reopen jupyter notebooks.
