Do not forget to run update-desktop-database with a proper directory as
its argument.

Thanks! Changing the x-scheme-handler to google-chrome.desktop works for me!

Some applications don't follow default browser settings

[Tianyu Chen]

Hi all,

I'm using Google Chrome (/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome) as my default 
browser, which is set by `update-alternatives` command. However my 
firefox-esr is always launching when links are opened in Telegram and 
Mozilla Thunderbird.


I'd like to know why firefox-esr is launching, and how can i switch to 
Chrome? I'm not gonna removing my Firefox :(


Some information attached:

    $ readlink -f /usr/bin/x-www-browser
    /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

    $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
    google-chrome.desktop

    $ cat ~/.config/mimeapps.list
    [Default Applications]
    x-scheme-handler/tg=userapp-Telegram Desktop-ZS5OS1.desktop
    text/html=google-chrome.desktop

    [Added Associations]
    x-scheme-handler/tg=userapp-Telegram Desktop-ZS5OS1.desktop;
    text/html=google-chrome.desktop;


Any help is appreciated, thanks!
