Binary package hint: update-manager
I fired up Update Manager to check what fixes were waiting - decided to
have a look at the related Launchpad report against one of the kernel
updates... instead of opening up a tab in Firefox as I expected, it
started another program called the "Gnome Web Browser". In turn, this
messed up my audio playback - I had to reboot to get my audio back.
This affected ALL audio playback whether from my browser or from other
audio apps (Totem, Rhythmbox etc).
I tested with iPlayer - and while I could watch images, there was no
audio at all until I rebooted.
I have Firefox set as my default browser in System Preferences - surely
this option should be used by all apps requesting web-page output?
What was concerning was - I had Firefox open at the time -
Expected behaviour... that the Launchpad page would open up in a new tab
within Firefox.
Please fix.
