Running Debian 10 (stable) with Trinity Desktop Environment (based on KDE 3.5). Having some issues with Firefox and Thunderbird, in that they do not seem to be playing nice with the system.
If I open an e-mail with Thunderbird and click a link, instead of Firefox opening up the web page, Thunderbird erroneously and automatically creates an account 'Blogs & News Feeds' and thinks the URL is a feed. This does not happen all the time, but happens enough times that it has now become an annoyance. When I check the system for the default browser, it is giving me two different answers: ~$ update-alternatives --config x-www-browser There are 4 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable 200 auto mode 1 /opt/trinity/bin/konqueror 100 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/firefox-esr 70 manual mode 3 /usr/bin/vivaldi-snapshot 0 manual mode 4 /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable 200 manual mode Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: :~$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser firefox-esr.desktop Firefox ESR is their Extended Service Release of the browser. Upon checking the Firefox preferences, it is displaying that it is *not* the default browser, even though xdg-settings clearly is saying it is. When I launch Vivaldi stable and check the settings, that is telling me that Vivaldi is also *not* the default web browser. As Trinity is based on KDE, it also includes Konqueror, primarily as a file manager, but obviously also as a web browser. I also have PCManFM-Qt installed as a file manager, thinking that Konqueror could be the cause of the issue, since something seems to be switching Firefox from being the default browser, to not being the default. But when I have used PCManFM as a file manager, I am still seeing this issue with the browsers and Thunderbird. Could there be some explanation as to what is going on? Thanks in advance. -- Linux.
