1. gconftools --get '/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command' 2. gnome-open "http://www.google.com" 3. check python webbrowser.open $ python Python 2.7.2+ (default, Oct 4 2011, 20:06:09) [GCC 4.6.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import webbrowser >>> webbrowser.open("http://www.google.com") True Or looking at the function open_url at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/oneiric/apport/oneiric/view/head:/apport/ui.py#L812 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875812 Title: apport-bug starts Chrome instead of Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/875812/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
