[Bug 1512719] [NEW] Cannot make Chromium my default browser

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Dear all,

After an upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10 I no longer can make Chromium the
default browser.

Clicking on the button (see attached screenshot) doesn't make it the
default browser.

Can someone reproduce this?

Thankfully,

Robert
