Title:
Software updater launches browser as root
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
1. I launch Software Updater, then choose "Upgrade..." to initiate the 13.04
upgrade
2. I am asked fot password
3. A window with release notes pops up
PROBLEM:
4. I click the URL to view release notes
5. A pop-up window complains "Chromium cannot be run as root." (despite
Firefox being my default browser)
6. Firefox is launched as root
EXPECTED:
Software Center should honour my default browser and definitely not run it as
root.
