Bug Description
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
On a fresh install,
1. Install Chromium
2. Click "Make Chromium My Default Browser" in preferences
3. Open a link from gnome-terminal (right-click, Open Link)
The link gets opened in Firefox. And, Firefox even asks me if I want to make it my default browser!
To fix this, I have to go into Preferred Applications, and change Firefox to Chromium. Then links open as expected.
