icedove and iceweasel not recognizing chromium-browser as default browser
Debian testing, Xfce - with icedove, iceweasel, and chromium-browser installed. I decided to set chromium-browser as the default Web browser. In all other applications if I click on a Web link, the page loads in chromium-browser. If I click on a Web link within icedove, iceweasel is launched. If I go into iceweasel preferences and click the check now button, it tells me that iceweasel is already the default browser -- this despite the fact that the make iceweasel the default browser checkbox is unchecked, and chromium-browser is set in Xfce's preferred applications as the default Web browser. I can't figure whether this is an Xfce problem, a Debian problem, or a Mozilla problem. (But I have my suspicions.) Would anyone know how I can make icedove and iceweasel recognize my choice of a default browser? Not exactly a serious problem, but it kind of irks me!
