Comment 8 for bug 1166017

Reading on the web, I learned that ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list exists. And I found the following in mine:

# fgrep -i firefox ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
x-scheme-handler/ftp=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/chrome=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-htm=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-html=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-shtml=firefox.desktop
application/xhtml+xml=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-xhtml=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-xht=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop;
text/html=firefox.desktop;

This, despite I have used the GUI "System settings / Details / Default Applications". That said, I changed all reference of "firefox" for "google-chrome" and then logged out/ logged in, to no vail. Firefox remains the default browser when I click on a link displayed on a PDF document, rendered by evince. So this is problably not the problem. That said, shouldn't 'System settings' update the file anyway, in case it is being used by some other application?
