Update-manager is using the code x-www-browser to open the "default" browser. Unfortunately, the preference settings GUI is not really changing the "default" browser in x-www-browser. As long as epiphany is installed it has preference over other browsers when executing the command x-www-browser. When using other programs that do not initiate x -www-browser, preferred browser will launch.
Try this in a terminal to confirm: x-www-browser Did it open firefox or epiphany? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/693131 Title: Launchpad links in the bug-fix description field don't lauch Firefox when set as default -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
