#25806: When set as default web browser TBB cannot open links clicked in other apps ------------------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: heyjoe | Owner: tbb-team Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Major | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ------------------------------------------+---------------------- On an openSUSE Leap 42.3 system using KDE Plasma:
STR: 1. Install torbrowser-launcher and run the Tor Browser 2. Go to about:preferences and set it as default browser 3. Click to open an HTTP link from another application (tested with claws- mail and newsbeuter) EXPECTED The link should open in Tor Browser ACTUAL The link opens in Chromium (the previous default browser). Also chrome://settings/defaultBrowser still shows that "Chromium is your default browser" regardless of: [~]: cat .config/mimeapps.list | grep browser x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop As seen on the screenshot (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=765672) both browsers claim to be default simultaneously. [~]: find ~ -name exo-web-browser.desktop shows nothing Additionally I notice that there exist 2 different files: ~/.config/mimeapps.list ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list Further testing: 4. In System Settings -> Default Applications -> Web Browser set explicitly to open http(s) URLs in application torbrowser. 5. Repeat step 3 RESULT: Now when I click a link (e.g. in claws-mail or in console) Tor Browser starts (if it is not started) but does not open the URL. If it was already started I simply get a message box: "Tor Browser is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Tor Browser process, or restart your system." and the URL still doesn't open in it. The TBB version is 7.5.3. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25806> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
