Bug Description

Binary package hint: tracker

I have set my default browser to be epiphany and when I click on a link or use gnome-open then all urls are opened in this fine. However when I use tracker-search-tool and click on a link it opens it in firefox.

There does not appear to be an option to change this. Could it at least try using gnome-open if available or check the default browser in use in gnome.

Looks like this is dependent on the settings in Nautilus which makes sense.

Might be nice if there could be a "Open With" option in the menu like nautilus or even a properties option to set the default.

Perhaps .html files and the like should be set to "Default Browser" rather than Firefox by default then this would change with the browser setting.

Not a Tracker bug but rather a GNOME-wide issue.
