I'm sorry, but that's an incredibly unhelpful and arrogant attitude. Users shouldn't be bothered with technical details. It should just work. If they configure Firefox as their default browser, it should become their default browser. It should not become the default browser only for some of their programs.
And of course alternatives are a user setting! Are you really suggesting that if some program installs itself with a higher priority so that a user's favourite program is no longer started, they should just shut up and take it? Of course not. They should be able to configure it. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Choosing the default browser should also configure x-www-browser alternative https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
