Public bug reported:
In 14.04, the webbrowser-app keeps stubbornly getting into the way of my
work. Unity Google calendar integration? "Browser" pops up! Click on a
link embedded in a PDF file in Okular? "Browser" pops up. All this,
despite my default web browser being set to Firefox. Just double
checking: "/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser" links to "/usr/bin/firefox"
.
The list of nice features that Browser does not have which Firefox has
is simply too long to put it here. So, please give us a choice whether
we want to use Browser or not. Microsoft, by the way, got into big
legal trouble with the EU because they tried to force their own browser
upon their users, and had to pull back. Ubuntu should be bigger than
this!
