You've received an answer as to how to this, but--do you want to do this?
People do change their preferences from time to time. They will likely
"forgive" you if they make a change while the script is running and you
don't notice...they are likely to be disgruntled if they change the default
browser and the script hasn't noticed by tomorrow. If "they" means
"you...Jan Pieter" then you could simply recompile the script to recover.
A more general audience might well contain people who would have trouble
with that task.
