Aha! The setting is correctly controlled by gnome-default-applications- properties. Running this (or launching 'Preferred Applications' from a menu/Unity) contains a "Web Browser" setting that was set to Firefox. Changing this to Chromium did the right thing.
I'm not at all sure what gnome-default-applications-properties is setting that the browsers aren't, but that seems to be the solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to libgnome in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/724299 Title: doesn't respect default browser -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
