The issue began after update from debian 10 to 11. And it persists in 12.
Before, Vmware Workstation help was shown in default browser (it's an
html guide).
After, guide was not showing anymore. Calling it (click on "help" on
Vmware application) began opening Abiword.
Vmware Workstation has no option "open guide with...".
In kde control panel -> app -> default, Firefox is set as default browser.
If I uninstall abiword, logoff and login to kde, guide is shown in
Firefox. If I reinstall abiword, issue comes back.
Where should I look?
Hi.. Am taking a stab at this while you're waiting for others here.
What kinds of options are you offered if you try accessing this same
via your favorite file manager?
Now I see that it' not local html pages, it's online.
I remember local pages, but perhaps it was on older versions.
Without Abiword, Firefox tries to open links such as:
docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17.0/context?id=IDH_MAIN
docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17.0/context?id=IDH_CFG_MEMORY
But then Vmware site redirect to generic page:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/index.html
BTW this is vmware's fault, and renders guide almost useless.
But it's still interesting to know why a link is passed to abiword
instead of default browser.
