I haven't the slightest idea where to find

As the forum thread doesn't say what settings panel where.
And I can't find anything in chrome://settings that corresponds to mail 
or default applications.
nor is there anything in my systemmenu under settings for default 
applications.
Perhaps the forum user was referring to something in the default wm 
(mate or something?) which I don't use.
I'm using openbox with the fbpanel.
