The "canonical" way is to use xdg-settings, e.g.: $ xdg-settings --list Known properties: default-url-scheme-handler Default handler for URL scheme default-web-browser Default web browser $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser preferred-web-browser.desktop $ locate preferred-web-browser.desktop /home/poc/.local/share/applications/preferred-web-browser.desktop $ cat /home/poc/.local/share/applications/preferred-web-browser.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Firefox Web Browser etc. etc. See 'xdg-settings help' for more options. Note that you probably need to set both default-web-browser and default-url-scheme-handler. You probably have to log out and in again to have this take effect, but I don't remember. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@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.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
