sensible-editor(1) in the ‘SEE ALSO’ section says:

  Documentation of the EDITOR, VISUAL, PAGER, and BROWSER variables in environ(7)

But environ(7) doesn't actually make any mention at all of BROWSER, so looking there is of little help in determining how to set the preferred browser, so that mention should be removed.

What would be useful is to document that sensible-browser by default tries gnome-www-browser, x-www-browser, or www-browser (depending on whether it's running under Gnome, X, or neither), and so the browser choice can be set with update-alternatives(8).

Thanks.
