I have also ubuntu 10.10 and I try the following command in a terminal : gnome-open http://ubuntu.com xdg-open http://ubuntu.com
The both were working : they launched the web browser I selected in the gnome-default-applications-properties. This was working well for Firefox and Chromium. Could you try these commands after having set the default application to confirm there is really a bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711761 Title: Gnome preferred browser not honored on using gnome-open or xdg-open -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
