Binary package hint: chromium-browser
A new install of Chromium /effectively/ makes itself the default browser without permission from the user.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install chromium-browser using e.g. Synaptic Package Manager.
2. Start chromium, and answer "no" to the question "do you want to make chromium the default?"
3. At the command prompt, type:
$ ls -l *-www-browser
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2010-09-03 14:02 gnome-www-browser -> /usr/bin/chromium-browser
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-09-02 16:42 x-www-browser -> /usr/bin/chromium-browser
The expected behaviour is that the symbolic links above remain pointing at your default browser (in my case, firefox). With those symbolic links changed, any calls to e.g. urlview from a mail tool such as mutt, will open up a chromium browser, when the user expects to see their default browser.
I'm guessing that this is a regression caused by the fix to Bug #571103 ?

Binary package hint: chromium-browser
A new install of Chromium /effectively/ makes itself the default browser without permission from the user.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install chromium-browser using e.g. Synaptic Package Manager.
2. Start chromium, and answer "no" to the question "do you want to make chromium the default?"
3. Chromium has now become your default browser for many command line applications.
You can prove this by typing the following at the command line:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser
There are 2 choices for the alternative gnome-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/firefox 40 manual mode
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
There are 2 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/firefox 40 manual mode
The expected behaviour is that the '*' remains with your previously indicated preferred browser and NOT chromium. Now any calls to e.g. urlview from a mail tool such as mutt, will open up a chromium browser, when the user expects to see their previously default browser.
