I've just found that the way .desktop files are handled in Gnome is configured in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list (and can be overriden in a per-user basis editing ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list).
When the user changes the default browser, gnome-control-center should create and/or update ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list accordingly, reflecting the user choice. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-control-center -- web shortcuts are not opened with the preferred browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
