Package: firefox-esr
Version: 45.7.0esr-3
Severity: normal
Control: found -1 45.7.0esr-1
Control: affects -1 thunderbird
Hi
in a clean system, with no previous mime entries in
~/.config/mimeapps.list and ~/.local/share/applications, and firefox
enabled to check if it is the default app:
firefox is not running. In thunderbird I click on a link. This starts
firefox and opens the link there. But now, firefox thinks it's not the
default browser. If I allow firefox to change this it creates
~/.config/mimeapps.list with *thunderbird.desktop* entries:
-----
[Default Applications]
x-scheme-handler/http=thunderbird.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=thunderbird.desktop
x-scheme-handler/ftp=thunderbird.desktop
x-scheme-handler/chrome=thunderbird.desktop
text/html=thunderbird.desktop
application/x-extension-htm=thunderbird.desktop
application/x-extension-html=thunderbird.desktop
application/x-extension-shtml=thunderbird.desktop
application/xhtml+xml=thunderbird.desktop
application/x-extension-xhtml=thunderbird.desktop
application/x-extension-xht=thunderbird.desktop
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/http=thunderbird.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=thunderbird.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/ftp=thunderbird.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/chrome=thunderbird.desktop;
text/html=thunderbird.desktop;
application/x-extension-htm=thunderbird.desktop;
application/x-extension-html=thunderbird.desktop;
application/x-extension-shtml=thunderbird.desktop;
application/xhtml+xml=thunderbird.desktop;
application/x-extension-xhtml=thunderbird.desktop;
application/x-extension-xht=thunderbird.desktop;
-----
This not only causes thunderbird fail to open links, but also repeatedly
spawn thunderbird processes, which requires a "killall thunderbird". (Or
something like that, I don't remember exactly and don't want to
reproduce it now.)
If I start firefox directly, I'm currently not asked about the default
browser (somehow it now realizes that it's default as set in
/usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list).
But in the past I sometimes was asked, and then the
~/.config/mimeapps.list was created correctly with firefox.desktop entries.
I've observed this behavior for a few weeks now, while I was working on
something unrelated and frequently deleted all related files. It still
happens with current 45.7.0esr-3.
Thanks and greets
