Bug ID: 402206
Summary: Firefox keeps asking for being set as default browser
when GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 is set
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: shtetl...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I tried enabling native KDE dialog integration with Firefox using
xdg-desktop-portal-kde, and noticed that Firefox keeps asking about being set
as default browser on each startup.
I installed:
xdg-desktop-portal 1.0.3
xdg-desktop-portal-kde 5.14.3
Set in $HOME/.profile:
export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1
Applications > Default Applications > Web Browser already set to Firefox.
When GTK_USE_PORTAL is not set, it's not asking after first time.
I also noticed, that Firefox normally remembers this setting after creating a
NoDisplay .desktop file in $HOME/.local/share/applications
Such as:
$HOME/.local/share/applications/userapp-Firefox-IIJAUZ.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
Exec=/opt/mozilla/firefox/firefox-bin %u
Name=Firefox
Comment=Custom definition for Firefox
This is not visible in menu and not available to System Settings choice
(because of NoDisplay=true), so I usually create another .desktop file there,
to expose Firefox. Something like:
$HOME/.local/share/applications/Firefox.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=/opt/mozilla/firefox/firefox %u
GenericName=Mozilla Firefox
Icon=/home/user/pictures/icons/firefox.png
MimeType=application/x-www-browser;
Name=Firefox
NoDisplay=false
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
This way it can be selected in System Settings > Applications > Default
Applications > Web Browser.
Something between these two and xdg desktop portal goes wrong I suppose.
