I confirm this bug on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, `gnome- terminal-2.30.2-0ubuntu`. I was switching back from Chromium to Firefox, but Gnome Terminal kept opening Chromium windows. It affects also Pidgin and some other Gnome applications.
- System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications have no effect - In gconf-editor, all /desktop/gnome/url-handlers point to the new browser, no effect - `x-www-browser` and `gnome-www-browser` point to the new brower, no effect This Debian bug is relevant and offers a workaround: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612985 To workaround the problem I added these lines to ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list: x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #612985 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612985 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759990 Title: gnome-terminal ignores default browser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/759990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
