Public bug reported:
The Ubuntu touch browser is fine, but I like to use Firefox with some
add ons (https everywhere, adblock plus, DuckDuckGo, NoScripts, Download
youtube videos as MP4) and with syncing with my desktop and laptop as my
default browser. However, since Firefox is not set as default, all links
from Dekko, RSS reader etc open in the Ubuntu touch browser in stead.
This is a bit annoying. I wish there was a setting in the settings panel
for default browser that would fix this. (Setting Firefox as default
browser inside Firefox does nothing.)
(I also wish copy-paste would work to Xapps, so I could copy links
manually as an alternative to having Firefox as default browser, but
that is another bug report.)
