Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.30.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Modern Gnome desktops look at the scheme of a URL (i.e the http:// part)
first to determine with which application to open it. When one has multiple
browsers installed and only one of them supports said scheme it will always
be used to open the URL. This happens when one ctrl-clicks on a URL in
gnome-terminal or uses a utility like gvfs-open (or even xdg-open which uses
gvfs-open under water).
In my case I have iceweasel, epiphany and chromium installed. Only chromium
currently indicates in its desktop files that it knows how to handle http
schemes. And although I have made iceweasel my default browser when I
ctrl-click on a URL in gnome-terminal it will always be opened with
chromium.
However, as soon as I added the schemes to the iceweasel.desktop file and
ran update-desktop-database to regenerate the mimeinfo.cache file this
changed. Now when I ctrl-click on a URL in gnome-terminal both chromium and
iceweasel will be considered for opening the URL and somewhere deep in the
bowels of Gnome it is discovered that I have made iceweasel my default
browser and hence it opens the URL in iceweasel instead of chromium. In
short exactly the behaviour I want... :)
To have epiphany considered on even footing with chromium (and hopfully soon
iceweasel) it should also add the http and https schemes to its desktop
file. Like so:

This seems to be fixed meanwhile:
$ epiphany --version
Web 3.26.5.1
$ grep -i http /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Epiphany.desktop
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;multipart/related;application/x-mimearchive;message/rfc822;
$
I'm therefore closing this bug now. Please feel free to reopen if
necessary!
