Title:
when setting firefox as default browser it becomes default app to open
.PNG files
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
I've had the unpleasant surprise to discover that if I play with the
default browser to something else like Chrome, Opera or Vivaldi and
the revert to either Firefox or Firefox Nightly (firefox-trunk) then
Firefox (or the nightly, depending on which I select as the new
default) become the default program with which Nautilus (Files) tries
to open .PNG files.
I suppose it might be related to their .desktop files. For example,
Chrome and Opera have these Mimetypes specified, respectively:
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;image/webp;x-scheme-
handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;x-scheme-
handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;
Firefox and Firefox Nightly:
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x
-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;x
-scheme-handler/chrome;video/webm;application/x-xpinstall;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x
-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;x
-scheme-handler/chrome;video/webm;application/x-xpinstall;
(they're the same)
So I edited /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop and removed the
"image/png" bit and solved the problem for Firefox. The un-modified
firefox-trunk.desktop file still causes the problem. Weirdly enough,
the default application to open .jpg files does not change.
Why does the firefox.desktop file require all the additonal "noise"
when we have plenty of other applications to handle those mimetypes?
The other browsers seem to do just fine with their shorter MimeType
lines.
