[06-13-17 15:36]: Let me rephrase a previous Q --
When some program tries to show a URL, it invokes your "default browser". How does it know what your default browser is and where is that set?
Is it a symlink somewhere in your home directory, or a text file with the browser name in it? Or what?
not knowing what desktop you are using and knowing that it may be completely home-grown, in kde/plasma5 you set it with systemsettings5 --> applications --> default applications --> web browser
in xfce it is something similar but not systemsettings5.
But maybe it can be queried somehow across desktops. :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
