[Bug 1087741] New: Setting default web browser falls back to previous browser
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1087741 Bug ID: 1087741 Summary: Setting default web browser falls back to previous browser Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.3 Hardware: Other OS: openSUSE 42.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: studio@anchev.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 765672 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=765672&action=edit screenshot STR: 1. Install torbrowser-launcher and run the Tor Browser 2. Go to about:preferences and set it as default browser 3. Click to open an HTTP link from another application (tested with claws-mail and newsbeuter) EXPECTED The link should open in Tor Browser ACTUAL The link opens in Chromium (the previous default browser). Also chrome://settings/defaultBrowser still shows that "Chromium is your default browser" regardless of: [~]: cat .config/mimeapps.list | grep browser x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop As seen on the screenshot both browsers claim to be default simultaneously. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Further testing:
4. In System Settings -> Default Applications -> Web Browser set explicitly to open http(s) URLs in application torbrowser. 5. Repeat step 3
RESULT:
Now when I click a link (e.g. in claws-mail or in console) Tor Browser starts (if it is not started) but does not open the URL. If it was already started I simply get a message box:
"Tor Browser is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Tor Browser process, or restart your system."
and the URL still doesn't open in it.
Reported upstream: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25806
What you did in 4 is the correct approach for KDE, xdg-utils will look at those settings rather then the other mimetype ones, if tor-browser is being opened but the page isn't loaded that seems more like an issue with its handling of command line params or its desktop file is setup to handle them wrongly, especially if chromium and firefox will open them when they are the default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

That is also what I understand from: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12763 https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher/issues/157#issuecomment-101... Andreas, Considering that TBB itself seems patched deliberately to prevent opening URLs from command line maybe we should assume it is not a bug but a feature? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
