> 2. Start chromium, and answer "no" to the question "do you want to make chromium the default?"
As a user-level app, chromium has no ability to make modifications to alternatives (note you needed a "sudo" to change it from the command line). So the above quoted point is irrelevant to the bug. I believe what you've described is intentionally how the alternatives works -- Firefox and Chromium have the same priority, so whichever is installed later becomes the default. I don't think there's a good solution to your problem. I believe if you had manually specified Firefox as your default (as described in your workaround) the setting would have stuck. -- chromium makes itself the default gnome-www-browser without permission https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629498 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
