I haven't followed the thread that carefully, and at this stage of the
game I might sound out of it, but did you try in Gnome clicking on
System, then preferences, then Preferred applications? Also, make
sure that within Firefox then Edit, then Preferences, then advanced,
then make sure the box "always make sure that Firefox is your
preferred brower." Is checked, then click on the check now button.
If you get the message" Firefox is already set as your preferred
browser."
First things I checked. I had even tried setting the path to the
Firefox shell script in the Preferred Applications dialog. And the
setting in the FF preferences is to be default browser.
The do the operation that is causing the wrong browser to open again
and see if the problem is fixed. If it isn't, open the browser that
you don't want and see if it is asserting itself as your preferred
browser,
Midori (which is the browser currently acting as default) doesn't have
such a setting
Somehow I managed to get Lotus Notes to work right again, but other apps
still go to Midori, such as XChat. Interesting thing is, Thunderbird
either ignores URL clicks completely, or clicking on a link in an email
will cause the system to hang.
