So try using gnome-openhttp://www.google.com <http://www.google.com/> from a
command-line and
report back what happens.
Also try using gnome-open mailto:[email protected] and see if that
works too.
If you don't have gnome-open on your system, use xdg-open instead.
Should give you the same results.
The configuration for your mime types is in
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
Try running cat ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list | grep http
If you see anything in there that is no longer installed in your system
you're going to have to fix it.
You could always backup to another location and delete
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list which should cause your
desktop environment to regenerate it.
Hello,
Just checking in to see if anybody was still impacted by this issue. As
far as I can tell, it's mainly caused by a stray config file that points
to the wrong web browser, or no web browser at all.
These old config files are mostly from people upgrading as the issue
does not present itself with a clean configuration.
Let me know if you're still having this issue in Jessie or newer, or
I'll go ahead and close this out.
Thanks for your time.
