Public bug reported:
On 15.04, I had Chrome set as the default browser. It had been the
default browser ever since I had installed it, ages ago, several major
ubuntu releases ago.
After upgrading to 15.10 and rebooting, I launched Chrome and the prompt
showed up telling me Chrome is not the default browser, and asking me
whether to set it as the default browser. This is already an issue in
itself.
Even worse, I choose Yes, but the every time I restart Chrome, the same
prompt shows up again. It's like not only the default browser setting
was reset, but it also fails to be overwritten when I am prompted and
choose Yes.
P.S. I have no idea whether Unity is the right package responsible of this.
