I confirm this bug on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, `gnome- terminal-2.30.2-0ubuntu`. I was switching back from Chromium to Firefox, but Gnome Terminal kept opening Chromium windows. It affects also Pidgin and some other Gnome applications.
- System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications have no effect - In gconf-editor, all /desktop/gnome/url-handlers point to the new browser, no effect - `x-www-browser` and `gnome-www-browser` point to the new brower, no effect This Debian bug is relevant and offers a workaround: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612985 To workaround the problem I added these lines to ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list: x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #612985 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612985 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759990 Title: gnome-terminal ignores default browser Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal Since upgrading to natty (running unity), linked opened in gnome- terminal open in Firefox, regardless of my default browser being chrome. gnome-terminal 2.32.1-0ubuntu3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/759990/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
