Nautilus, after upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04, opens ftp bookmarks in default web browser

[Brett Alton]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I'm sure this is a bug based on a library that Nautilus uses and not actually Nautilus (so if someone who does triage could help, that would be much appreciated) but after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 (on my laptop and desktop), my computers will open my Nautilus ftp:// bookmarks in my default web browser (Chrome).

So there's some switch that happens during the upgrade, possibly Chromes fault, but I figured I'd report it under Nautilus because that's what I'm using to open my bookmarks.

This is actually a problem with the component that sets default applications (I think gconf), as described here:

That also contains the solution.
