Perhaps because you have Firefox as your default browser? > And this command opens foo.html in Wine's Internet Explorer (no > crash/error): > $ wine iexplore.exe foo.html Well, this depends on alternatives. In any case, I don't want wine to be run (in particular I have never run a web browser under wine, so that there is no reason to start doing that here; note also that I haven't even ever run any desktop application under wine, just command-line test programs to test MPFR). > More details: > > Previously I had: > $ xdg-mime query default text/html > userapp-Firefox-1M35PY.desktop Probably because you chose Firefox as the default browser. > This was due to an entry in .config/mimeapps.list.

I don't know what's specific about 2016-05-22 (except that I had run MPFR tests under wine, but this wasn't the first time); there was an upgrade to wine32 1.8.1-2 on 2016-05-17. .local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache contains: [MIME Cache] application/rtf=wine-extension-rtf.desktop; application/vnd.ms-htmlhelp=wine-extension-chm.desktop; application/winhlp=wine-extension-hlp.desktop; application/x-mswinurl=wine-extension-url.desktop; application/x-mswrite=wine-extension-wri.desktop; application/x-wine-extension-ini=wine-extension-ini.desktop; application/x-wine-extension-msp=wine-extension-msp.desktop; application/x-wine-extension-vbs=wine-extension-vbs.desktop; application/xml=wine-extension-xml.desktop; image/gif=wine-extension-gif.desktop; image/jpeg=wine-extension-jfif.desktop;wine-extension-jpe.desktop; image/png=wine-extension-png.desktop; text/html=wine-extension-htm.desktop; text/plain=wine-extension-txt.desktop; So, the important line here is: text/html=wine-extension-htm.desktop; I don't have any text/html line in the mimeapps.list file.

If I delete the ~/.wine directory, I still get firefox-esr.desktop, and ditto if I remove the wine-related "config" files first: these buggy config files do not reappear. > Finally, which desktop environment are you using? Since when? No desktop environment, just fvwm, since 1995 (well, at that time, not on this machine :). Perhaps GNOME was initially run on the machine just after I installed it, but that's all. As I can't reproduce the bug with the above change for now, this may be an obsolete bug, though I couldn't find anything in the ChangeLog except: wine (1.6.1-8) unstable; urgency=medium * Don't register mime types (closes: #327262).
