Not sure about opera, but IIRC firefox doesn't use xdg-settings to set itself as the default browser.
chromium-browser relies on xdg-settings, which errors out when $BROWSER is set, and that's apparently intentional. So the bug here seems to be that $BROWSER is set in the first place. What purpose does that variable fulfill? As pointed out by Walter, it's not part of the UNIX standard. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1823917 Title: Can't set Chromium as the default browser when BROWSER variable is defined To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1823917/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
