There's one additional problem: registering /snap/bin/firefox as an alternative appears to work (at least from update-alternatives' standpoint), but invoking e.g. gnome-www-browser doesn't, because /snap/bin/firefox is a symlink to /usr/bin/snap, and so the snap command is run with whatever paramet

I just did a quick and dirty test to confirm the above: in a live installer session, I replaced the /usr/bin/sensible-browser binary by a symlink to /usr/bin/xdg-open, and clicking the "release notes" hyperlink did open the release notes in firefox, as expected. -- You received this bug notificat

Replacing the call to 'sensible-browser' by 'xdg-open' in ubiquity would probably work, because if BROWSER isn't set xdg-open falls back on a hardcoded list of well-known browser names, and that includes firefox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which

We discussed it a bit, since we not going to turn the firefox deb into a transitional package this cycle we need to address this in some other way. The issue isn't specific to ubiquity and is going to impact anything trying to use the alternative. One way would be to create an empty deb with mainta

That's essentially the same problem as bug #1870640: snaps do not have a way to integrate with the update-alternatives system (this was discussed in https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/how-to-make-snap-eligible-for-update- alternatives/21654 without a solution). The way this was addressed for chromium is

The error is a red herring though as sensible-browser calls /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser which is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser which then was a symlink to /usr/bin/firefox before the firefox deb was removed. Now there is no /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser. ** Tags added: rls-
