Yes in Preferred Applications Firefox was set as default.

[Bug 724299] Re: doesn't respect default browser
I can confirm this behavior; it's been the case for several weeks at least on natty and is still occurring as of 2011-03-11. The gconf key seems to be getting set properly. On my system (allegedly configured to use Chromium as the default browser): fader@cavil:~$ gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command /usr/bin/chromium-browser %s If I click a URL or gnome-open one, I get Firefox. Interestingly, if I go to the Firefox preferences, it detects that it is not the default browser. Setting it as the default causes the gconf key to be updated: fader@cavil:~$ gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command firefox %s (As expected, URLs continue to open in Firefox at this point.) Chrome recognizes that it is no longer the default browser and is happy to change the gconf key back for me: fader@cavil:~$ gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command /usr/bin/chromium-browser %s However, URLs are still opened by Firefox at this point. I poked around in gconf a bit and just got more confused. fader@cavil:~$ gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec /usr/bin/chromium-browser fader@cavil:~$ gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp/command firefox %s (Admittedly, the FTP handler is likely to be unrelated to this directly. But it is interesting.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/724299 Title: doesn't respect default browser -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 724299] Re: doesn't respect default browser
Aha! The setting is correctly controlled by gnome-default-applications- properties. Running this (or launching 'Preferred Applications' from a menu/Unity) contains a Web Browser setting that was set to Firefox. Changing this to Chromium did the right thing. I'm not at all sure what gnome-default-applications-properties is setting that the browsers aren't, but that seems to be the solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/724299 Title: doesn't respect default browser -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

if gnome-open does the wrong thing, I don't think there is a bug in apport.
