Package: firefox-esr Version: 45.7.0esr-3 Severity: normal Control: found -1 45.7.0esr-1 Control: affects -1 thunderbird
Hi in a clean system, with no previous mime entries in ~/.config/mimeapps.list and ~/.local/share/applications, and firefox enabled to check if it is the default app: firefox is not running. In thunderbird I click on a link. This starts firefox and opens the link there. But now, firefox thinks it's not the default browser. If I allow firefox to change this it creates ~/.config/mimeapps.list with *thunderbird.desktop* entries: ----- [Default Applications] x-scheme-handler/http=thunderbird.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=thunderbird.desktop x-scheme-handler/ftp=thunderbird.desktop x-scheme-handler/chrome=thunderbird.desktop text/html=thunderbird.desktop application/x-extension-htm=thunderbird.desktop application/x-extension-html=thunderbird.desktop application/x-extension-shtml=thunderbird.desktop application/xhtml+xml=thunderbird.desktop application/x-extension-xhtml=thunderbird.desktop application/x-extension-xht=thunderbird.desktop [Added Associations] x-scheme-handler/http=thunderbird.desktop; x-scheme-handler/https=thunderbird.desktop; x-scheme-handler/ftp=thunderbird.desktop; x-scheme-handler/chrome=thunderbird.desktop; text/html=thunderbird.desktop; application/x-extension-htm=thunderbird.desktop; application/x-extension-html=thunderbird.desktop; application/x-extension-shtml=thunderbird.desktop; application/xhtml+xml=thunderbird.desktop; application/x-extension-xhtml=thunderbird.desktop; application/x-extension-xht=thunderbird.desktop; ----- This not only causes thunderbird fail to open links, but also to repeatedly spawn thunderbird processes, which requires a "killall thunderbird". (Or something like that, I don't remember exactly and don't want to reproduce it now.) If I start firefox directly, I'm currently not asked about the default browser (somehow it now realizes that it's default as set in /usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list). But in the past I sometimes was asked, and then the ~/.config/mimeapps.list was created correctly with firefox.desktop entries. I've observed this behavior for a few weeks now, while I was working on something unrelated and frequently deleted all related files. It still happens with current 45.7.0esr-3.
