I had both firefox and chromium already installed before installing lubuntu-desktop.
After installing lubuntu-desktop (which is coming along nicely by the way), chromium was the default browser by using the icon next to the "start" menu. I tried changing this to firefox, and the preference shows that firefox is saved as my default browser. However, each time I click the web- browser launch it still launches chromium. As a work-around, I saved a firefox launcher to my desktop, and then tried to drag and drop it to the quick-launch bar, but apparently dragging and dropping to the quick-launch bar isn't supported. I like how lean lxde runs. Use to, the reason I wouldn't use LXDE was mainly due to it not having easy setup for multiple monitors (use to, if you did set this up, the setting would not persist to the next login -- now it does so that great). I'll use lxde as my go to desktop as soon as I find a vertical launcher bar that acts like Unity's on multiple monitors and workspaces. Wow lxde is fast and lean! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290150 Title: Default applications for LXSession: changing default browser not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1290150/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
