That solved the problem. To be specific, editing the mimeappslist file 
solved the problem. Links now resolve in Chrome, as I desired.

It is entirely possible that buried somewhere in thunderbird itself
there is a setting for how to open links, so setting defaults
outside of thunderbird wouldn't have any effect if tb was
explicitly set to use firefox.

Well, as a test you could erase Firefox just to see if that affects anything.

window, type in

network.protocol-handler.app.http

and hit ENTER or click "Ok". In the "Enter string value" window, put in
the FULL path to the chrome binary you want. In my case:

/opt/google/chrome/chrome

Press ENTER again or click "Ok" and now you should have a new entry
that looks like:

network.protocol-handler.app.http   user-set   string 
/opt/google/chrome/chrome


Repeat that process, but add "network.protocol-handler.app.https" to
handle "https://"; links in your emails and you should have two entries:

network.protocol-handler.app.http   user-set   string 
/opt/google/chrome/chrome
network.protocol-handler.app.https  user-set   string

Thanks Rick!  Thunderbird has been driving me up a wall for quite some
time. On F20 and F21, it would open all links in FF when the system
default browser was Google Chrome. Now in F22, I've switched to FF as my
default browser, but T-bird opened all https links in emails with
Konquerer. This fixes it.


Glad to be of service! There may be other ways to do this, but I know
this works.

Oh, and FWIW, I installed MATE desktop on my KDE system which is working as I 
want in starting chrome when clicking on a link in T-Bird even thought I get 
the same output as you show for the xdg-settings command.

I installed MATE on my KDE system and indeed it doesn't fully support the xdg 
environment.  Notice the difference in the environment variables set...

KDE

XDG_VTNR=1
XDG_SESSION_ID=5
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=kf5-
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session7
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=KDE
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1029
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE

MATE

XDG_VTNR=1
XDG_SESSION_ID=4
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session5
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1029
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=

Setting the blank DESKTOP variable to KDE will change the behavior of the 
commands.

You can edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list manually, in the
[Default Applications] section put this:
text/html=google-chrome.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop

Likewise, on both counts.  While I don't use Thunderbird, other things
do open the right web browser (for my personally set preference).  And

You need to change the mime handler for x-scheme-handler/https and
x-scheme-handler/https; Try this:
 xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop
xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler http google-chrome.desktop
xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler https google-chrome.desktop

Humm  That is all I've ever had to do when faced with a similar situation 
is to get that set properly.

In chrome, chrome://settings/ do you see under "Default Browser"

The default browser is currently Google Chrome.

(FYI, the setting in KDE settings applies only to KDE applications)

FWIW, that will also be the output if you run the command from an ssh session. 

I don't currently have an MATE system to check on.

Default Google-Chrome

[Mickey]

Fedora 21/KDE

I have in KDE Settings the Google-Chrome as default Web Browser.

How do I setup that when I'm reading my Emails in Thunderbird and I 
click on a Web Link in a email and I want the link to open in Chrome, 
but it always opens in Firefox. How do I change that ?
