Micah: bug 204858 was exactly that bug (sensible-browser should use xdg-
open instead of relying on alternatives), but it was closed as invalid.
Should it be reopened?

Sorry, alternative priority wars won't help anything. I'd suggest
filing bugs for anything still relying on that alternative as opposed to
xdg-open or something else which parses the default settings.

JFTR: There are tons of other browers in Ubuntu which are even above the
discussed 70 as used by Debian:

Indeed, Ubuntu claims this too. See

Perhaps, but it's what apps that use sensible-browser (alpine, xpdf, end

I was thinking about bumping the priority a couple of weeks ago, but
backed out the change at the last minute before the recent upload. TBH,
this isn't likely to change for Maverick, and it's not something that's
going to be a priority for us to change in the future either. The

This is an Ubuntu specific bug. Iceweasel in Debian does have a priority
of 70, xlinks2 a priority of 69. Works fine. Ubuntu's firefox-3.5 in
Karmic has priority of 40.

i guess the firefox priorities were lowered. have a look at the source
package debian/postinst, you can easily change the values there and
