[Bug 870949] Re: When changing default browser in System Setting the default for x-www-browser is not changed

 

Thank you for your bug report but alternatives are system settings where
the gnome-control-center handle user settings, it can't be set from
there, you should open bugs against software that use alternatives
values rather than the proper desktop settings

** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Medium => Wishlist

** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  When changing default browser in System Setting the default for x-www-
  browser is not changed

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This affects at the least
  apport (who cares - previous -  bug 837518
  Software-center

  To test:
  Install chromium-browser - it will be set on auto mode in  update-alternatives  x-www-browser

  Open a link in Software Center  - firefox will still be used

  
  The only way to change the behavior of either Sc or Tb will be to manually set to desired in 'update-alternatives --config  x-www-browser' ,  changing the default in g-c-c has no effect in these instances
