In my case, when I check my default browser settings, it shows up as "Google Keep". A bit before that, my Chromium launcher would always launch the Grooveshark webapp. I purged and reinstalled Chromium several times, and now I'm getting this issue. It seems to me that somehow Chromium and the webapps/extensions are getting confused in the system. When I click a link, apparently it tries to load Google Keep, which doesn't handle the URL, so just loads a new tab page instead.
I've tried both "xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium- browser.desktop" and "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser", and the settings are fine there, but "Google Keep" is still showing up as my default web browser. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244884 Title: URL doesn't open from other application in chromium-browser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1244884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
