Changing browser for IPython Notebook from system default

Question

I would like to keep firefox as my system default browser on my Mac, but launch IPython Notebook in Chrome^[1].

This answer led me to my ipython_notebook

Answer 1

Based on this answer, (running Python 2.7.3 and IPython-0.13.1 on Linux), all I had to set in my ipython_notebook_config.py was

c.NotebookApp.browser = u'/usr/bin/google-chrome %s'

I'm guessing, setting c.NotebookApp.browser to /Applications/Browsers/Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome %s should work for you.
