I did apport-collect 1110348
to add the missing Apport information. My ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list contains: ---------- [Default Applications] application/turboprint-key=turboprint-control.desktop text/html=chromium-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=chromium-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=chromium-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/about=chromium-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/unknown=chromium-browser.desktop [Added Associations] application/octet-stream=gedit.desktop; ---------- Everything seems to be switched to Chromium. Your hint to mimeTypes.rdf brought me to look into the settings of associations of file types to applications, Edit -> Preferences -> Attachments. There I changed "Use firefox" to "Use Chromium Web Browser (default)" for http. https, and HyperText Markup Language, resulting in http: and https: links in e-Mails being opened in Chromium now, so I have a workaround. For FTP Chromium was not offered. This needs to be fixed as changing the default browser needs manual adjustments in addition to switch the browser in GNOME Control Center. What needs to be fixed is the following: - Thunderbird should not only offer Firefox and Chromium but also the "User's default browser" for FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and HTML and have this selected by default - Alternatively, GNOME Control Center should also adjust the settings in Thunderbird -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1110348 Title: Thunderbird always uses Firefox to open links, also if the default browser is changed to Chromium Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have switched to Chromium as default browser, update-manager and also the Amazon icon in the Launcher respect this change, but if I click a link in an e-mail in Thunderbird Firefox gets always called. I have already tried to restart Thunderbird, to log out and log in again, and even to reboot. Links in e-mails always fire up Firefox. --- AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: till 3650 F.... pulseaudio BuildID: 20130106035012 CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
