firefox is used to open ftp share files

[Daniele Besana (WP-OK)]

Ubuntu 18.04
Nautilus 1:3.26.0-0ubuntu1
Bluefish 2.2.10

When I open a .php file from a FTP server browsed with Nautilus, Chrome is opened instead of the default application Bluefish.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to an FTP server via Nautilus
2a. Double-click on a .php file: chrome opens and the file is downloaded
2b. Right click and select 'open with' and then Bluefish: the file is opened in bluefish as expected

So, on the double-click from Nautilus the wrong app (chrome!) is opened even if the .php files are associated with bluefish.

Thanks

Hi Daniele,
I have reported your bug to the authors of the program: it seems that there is no relationship between bluefish and the incidence that you report (Please read this https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792974). Can you reproduce the error with version 2.2.10? If you can, please provide more information. Otherwise, close the bug.

Regards!

Hello Innocent,

Thank you, I have some more info and they lead to a problem in Nautilus rather than bluefish.

Here are the updated steps:
1. Connect to an FTP server via Nautilus
2a. Double-click on a .php file: chrome opens and the file is downloaded
2b. Right click and select 'open with' and then Bluefish: the file is opened in bluefish as expected

So, on the double-click from Nautilus the wrong app (chrome!) is opened even if the .php files are associated with bluefish.

Can you transfer this bug to nautilus?

Thanks
Daniele

Hi Daniele,

I think it's clear that this is not a bluefish error. I think it is more appropriate that you communicate the error to Nautilus (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=Nautilus): I do not have it installed and I can not confirm the bug.

You can also close this bug (in launchpad)

Regards!

Added Nautilus as affected package, removed Bluefish. Thanks

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you add a file example to the bug?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

That's discussed upstream on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/1414 and basically their opinion is that firefox shouldn't claim to be a x-scheme-handler/ftp handler

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

it's also discussed on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/713

[Janghou (janghou)]

Not only Firefox, also Chrome and Opera are x-scheme-handler/ftp handlers.

IMHO this is a Nautilus bug, because it DOES SHOW *open with Text Editor* on a txt file, and it DOES NOT do that.

But it DOES work when you select *Open with other application* and then select *Text Editor*.

IMHO the handling in the context menu should be the default in Nautilus.

The bug is still there in Ubuntu 20.10. I'm even almost certain it was fixed and re-appeared recently.

[AkhIL (akhilman)]

Ubuntu 21.04 also affected.
Manjaro and Fedora 34 also affected https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1956075
