xChris: glad to know that you found a way to make the problem go away,
but this isn't a proper fix and I'd like to get to the bottom of the
issue. If you reinstall firefox, does the problem re-appear? If so, can

xdg-settings
Looks like f*ck-up when another browser (eg. firefox) is installed too.
I removed the other browser (firefox) and the chrome does not complain anymore.

#34 not works in Linux Mint (the line 198 is not the same).
Also, I try with:
change lines #177 and #202 in the file /usr/bin/xdg-settings from
