2012-12-03 20:46:06 Jordi Sayol description On LMDE the installed Internet browser is Firefox, but in the file "/usr/share/applications/defaults.list" the default browser is: [...] application/xhtml+xml=epiphany.desktop text/html=epiphany.desktop [...] As epiphany is not installed by default, the html files are opened with any of the associated mime-type applications (in my case Thunderbird) and that is annoying. This can be overridden replacing "epiphany.desktop" with "firefox.desktop" in the file "/usr/share/applications/defaults.list", becoming: [...] application/xhtml+xml=firefox.desktop text/html=firefox.desktop [...] On LMDE the installed Internet browser is "firefox", but in "/usr/share/applications/defaults.list" and "/etc/gnome/defaults.list" the default browser is "epiphany". As "epiphany" is not installed by default, "html" files are randomly opened with any of the associated mime-type applications ("thunderbird" in my case), and this is annoying. This can be overridden replacing all "epiphany.desktop" entries to "firefox.desktop" in both "defaults.list".
