This is a general issue with Chromium and gnome, not this project in particular, this problem existed before.
Chromium makes a "custom setting" rather than the way gnome does it, thus when you set it in System Info, chromium doesn't think it's default, same thing happened in gnome 2. Since Gnome3 no longer supports setting a custom option for default programs, here's where the issues arise. This bug exists in Fedora 15 as well, it's nothing new. The work around is to make chromium not check if it's default and just change it in System Info. Either the Gnome team needs to re-add a custom option or chromium needs to fix how it handles making itself default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Team UGR, which is subscribed to ugr-meta. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781389 Title: unable to set default browser Status in Ubuntu Gnome Remix Metapackages: Incomplete Bug description: I installed Chromium browser, because I like it much better than Firefox. The only problem is that each time I start Chromium, it wants to set itself as default browser. If I click to set, the bar disappears, but at the next start it comes up again. In Preferences, there is a button saying "Make Chromium My Default Browser". If I click on it, it just stays active and Firefox stays as the default. What to do now?
