You have been subscribed to a public bug:
I just discovered that x-www-browser is different to gnome-www-browser.
This can cause some weird behaviour.
Use case:
Install firefox and opera on your system. Opera sets itself as default
x-www-browser wheras firefox sets itself as default gnome-www-browser.
Now, some apps use gnome-www-browser, while others rely on x-www-browser.
For example: clicking a link in thunderbird opens firefox, while dropbox opens
opera.
For the not-so-power users, there is no graphical way to set x-www-browser. (At
least, i havent found one)
So the question is: Is it really necessary to have these two seperate
confi-options still in 2012?
Wouldnt it make sense to have these two config-options linked to one another?
Or are there still so many use cases that justify a distiction between
gnome-www-browser and x-www-browser?
