Thanks for looking into this. I checked in a terminal and $BROWSER is not set at all - echo $BROWSER returns nothing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777392 Title: Software Center ignores default browser setting -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 777392] Re: Software Center ignores default browser setting
I also have Chromium set as default, and software-center opened the website in Chromium. However the code uses the webbrowser python module, which should open the default browser UNLESS there is a BROWSER environment variable set, in which case the browser preference list is overridden by this. I have tried setting the BROWSER variable, and in that case software-center did open the sites in Firefox indeed. So to check whether you also have a BROWSER variable set, type in the terminal 'echo $BROWSER' (and please post the output here). To clear the environment variable use the terminal command 'unset BROWSER'. Please comment the result after trying these. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777392 Title: Software Center ignores default browser setting -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
