How to set which application is launched by xdg-open?
- by Dima
I have run update-alternatives as well as gnome preffered apps selection thing. And all point to have chromium browser as default. Yet when I run xdg-open http://askubuntu.com firefox is launched! Similarly emacs and bzr also launch stuff in firefox instead of chromium.
Are there any additional settings which affect xdg-open functionality?
Something is definatly broken:
UPDATE
I have purged firefox:
update-alternatives - uses chromium browser
sensible-browser - opens chromium browser
xdg-open & gnome-open - opens using google-chrome which kindly tells me "it's not default browser"
