When there's a url -- http://foo.bar.com for example -- typed in the terminal and I clink the RMB with the sprite on the text, I am offered the option: "open link". So far, so good. The default browser is not executed. (Firefox rather than Chrome, FWIW) Question: where is the browser to be executed at this point configured?

Since you're using xfce, I don't know how to do it graphically.

Since you're using xfce, I don't know how to do it graphically. Run "xdg-mime query default text/html" to see what the current setting is. If that's not correct, then run: xdg-mime default text/html google-chrome.desktop Hopefully that will set it correctly.

Basically, you may have to change not just text/html but also x- scheme-handler and possibly other stuff (I can't be bothered reading through it all again, even though I was the OP). This is as clear as mud and the XDG docs don't go out of their way to make it understandable, but I did get there in the end.

Ok, from the post linked by Patrick, try the following: xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https If those point to the wrong browser, then do: xdg-mime default x-scheme-handler/http google-chrome.desktop xdg-mime default x-scheme-handler/https google-chrome.desktop _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.o...
