[Bug 882256] Re: Firefox hardcoded in default file

 

Would be nice if desktop-file-utils would honor the choices made with
update-alternatives - having lots of different places for the same
configuration sucks.

Title:
  Firefox hardcoded in default file

Status in “desktop-file-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upon install desktop-file-utils should get asked what defaults he
  would like. As not all applications honor the desktop url open helper.
  Using XFCE and chromium-browser as a default, http links in
  thunderbird still get opened in firefox due to the default file.
