Package: conkeror Version: 1.0~~pre+git140428-1 Severity: wishlist As the package stands, Conkeror installs a .desktop file which automatically plugs it into the application menus of the various DEs. However, Conkeror does not appear as a choice for "default browser". On cursory examination, the relevant difference between the Iceweasel .desktop file and Conkeror's is that the former specifies x-scheme-handler/http and x-scheme-handler/https in its MimeTypes field.
Adding those entries to Conkeror's file and running update-desktop-database does in fact add Conkeror to the list of possible default browsers in GNOME. Conkeror can also be made default through the use of xdg-mime, but I haven't checked if that requires the change in the .desktop file. It seems like a good idea to make these changes in the bundled file so that users looking to set Conkeror as their default browser in DEs don't have to delve into how XDG works. -- Package-specific info: -- Extensions information Name: HTTPS-Everywhere Location: /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{a79fe89b-6662-4ff4-8e88-09950ad4dfde}/https-everywh...@eff.org Package: xul-ext-https-everywhere Status: enabled -- Plugins information Name: Gnome Shell Integration Location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so Package: gnome-shell Status: enabled Name: iTunes Application Detector Location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so Package: rhythmbox-plugins Status: enabled Name: Shockwave Flash (11,2,202,341) Location: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so Status: enabled -- Addons package information ii gnome-shell 3.8.4-8+b1 amd64 graphical shell for the GNOME des ii rhythmbox-plug 3.0.1-1+b2 amd64 plugins for rhythmbox music playe ii xul-ext-https- 3.5.1-1 all extension to force the use of HTT -- Extensions information Name: HTTPS-Everywhere Location: /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{a79fe89b-6662-4ff4-8e88-09950ad4dfde}/https-everywh...@eff.org Package: xul-ext-https-everywhere Status: enabled -- Plugins information Name: Gnome Shell Integration Location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so Package: gnome-shell Status: enabled Name: iTunes Application Detector Location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so Package: rhythmbox-plugins Status: enabled Name: Shockwave Flash (11,2,202,341) Location: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so Status: enabled -- Addons package information ii gnome-shell 3.8.4-8+b1 amd64 graphical shell for the GNOME des ii rhythmbox-plug 3.0.1-1+b2 amd64 plugins for rhythmbox music playe ii xul-ext-https- 3.5.1-1 all extension to force the use of HTT -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=is_IS.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=is_IS.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages conkeror depends on: ii xulrunner-24.0 24.5.0esr-1 ii xulrunner-28 28.0-1 Versions of packages conkeror recommends: ii conkeror-spawn-process-helper 1.0~~pre+git140428-1 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7 Versions of packages conkeror suggests: ii emacs24 [emacsen] 24.3+1-2+b1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
