As of 15.10, I've noticed that support for at least browser (SeaMonkey)
seems to be respected in all applications besides 1) alternative
browsers and 2) Thunderbird, which chooses Firefox no matter what, even
if you make a change. As a result, I just quit using Thunderbird. I'm
not sure if changes

Title:
xubuntu desktop fails to respect "preferred applications"
In my case the defauly browser is recognized if i open a thunderbird
hiperlink, but ignored if i open a webpage from an application.
Examples:
LibreOffice > help
Spotify > help
Visual studio code > changelog
etc.

Ok this made the trick for me. Usually, when you install any new browser these
values are overriden, and you have to set them again.
Maybe it would be a good idea if these values were automatically updated when
you change your default browser using "settings > preferred applications".

I have discovered that the cause of this behaviour is a file conflict
betweentwo seperate defaults.list files. In Mint 17 XFCE my
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list and /etc/gnome/defaults.list
point to a different web browser. My
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list has the entries x-scheme-
This is persisting in the 14.04 dailies - setting the default browser to
Chromium via Preferred Applications resets on reboot, and even when
selected some applications do not honour it.

This bug seems to be fixed in Xubuntu Saucy (13.10). Thank you. Out of
curiosity, what was fixed?

In spite of the documented work-around in the bug description, it no

This affects chrome as well and is indeed a bug in it. It is caused by
chrome not recognising what binary it came from.

Still a bug in Xubuntu 13.04 (Raring) and 13.10 (Saucy daily).
Whenever I open the Settings Manager Preferred Applications Internet

1. Google Chrome says me that it doesn't set as default browser. I press Set
as default button. After that the content of .config/xfce4/helpers.rc
changes to WebBrowser=google-chrome.
2. After that when I click some link in Skype chat the dialog appeares and
suggests to set up default browser.
Despite having set Firefox as my default browser, links still open with
Chromium. I have verified that Firefox is properly set in the
preferences file.
$ grep Brows .config/xfce4/helpers.rc
WebBrowser=firefox
I don't see a way to alter this with galternatives.

Installing galternatives from Software Center is an easy way to fix
this, but new users would not figure that out. A feature to change
default browser should be installed by default. Especially when it
doesn't work with preinstalled applications like Software Center.

This bug also affects the defined TerminalEmulator.

It is not possible to change that with exo-preferred-applications.

Also the workaround does not work in that case.
I can change the line in ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc to

The xfce4 terminal is listed but the
Ok my problem is solved. GNUStep terminal links Terminal in /usr/bin with its
own Terminal Emulator. I changed that link to xfce4-terminal and it works

I think thunderbird is a bit special, I'm not sure it respects the
default settings for the browser. It's handled in its about:config
dialog, check the value of network.protocol-handler.app.http key (cf.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser
The launcher, and the .desktop file under ~/.config contain the
following line:

To be sure, I can change WebBrowser to chromium-browser, but how does
xfce4 / xfwm4 determine what WebBrowser means? There is no
/usr/bin/webbrowser. There are links
I did some searching around in ~/.config. The results are attached.
It would appear that the culprit is
/usr/share/applications/exo-web-browser.desktop, however that does not mention
and specific WebBrowser, and we go around in circles from there. The question
is still How is 'WebBrowser'
We will have to wait for a developer that knows the answer to how. I
am a triager who helps insure bugs are ready for the developers. I do
not know enough about code and programming languages to determine that.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since
this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work,
I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
This is probably related to bug
The button on the bottom panel is a launcher. You can right-click it,
click properties. Use the + to add chromium, and the - to remove
firefox.
You will also need to change the preferred browser as noted in the
WORKAROUND above.
