New issue 22424 by andrewsoltau: Chromium does not work as default browser because of 'Chromium Dev Build' warning page http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22424 Chrome Version : 4.0.212.0 (Ubuntu build 26556) <include svn revno; e.g. dpkg -s chromium-browser> 4.0.212.0~svn20090918r26556- 0ubuntu1~ucd1~jaunty OS + version : Ubuntu 9,04 Jaunty CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 32 bit window manager : Gnome URLs (if applicable) : all Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Simply set Chromium to be the default browser. 2. Click on a link in the email client. 3. Chromium comes up with two tabs. The tab with the focus shows only about:linux-splash page, and the default page in the other tab. What is the expected result? The browser should come up displaying the URL of the link, but this is not one of the two tabs shown. What happens instead? Up comes chromium, quick as a flash, with the about:linux-splash page, and the default page in the other tab. No page with the content I want to see! Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and backtrace if possible. I can't find any way to change this in the settings, and I've had a quick look in the source files, but couldn't see any accessible way to change startup behaviour. I posted to the chromespot forum, but no one's been able to help. This isn't really a bug as such, but I thought you would want someone to bring it to your attention, because it means that most of us are going to have to use a different browser for the default. But perhaps this is your intention, if so, sorry to have taken your time. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
