Re: [SOLVED] Chromium as dafault browser??

thanks again.
I don't want to drag this out longer than needed... but doesn't setting the Chromium browser with exo-prefered sort or by-pass the problem? If all of his settings were correct...Then the "Debian Sensible Browser" choice should have worked as well?
yes, i do not understand what happened, it is possible that changing the option, now is well configured.
I do not know.

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium as dafault browser??
"Debian Sensible Browser" is a script, intended to find the best browser available. It looks for DEs like GNOME and takes their choice if it exists ... ( 'cat /usr/bin/sensible-browser' to see the whole thing) ... and in BL's case will call x-www-browser, which is what we want.
I think it's the best choice in exo-preferred-applications because if you later change your Debian Alternative for x-www-browser then the exo selection will follow. Only one place to change.

yep, that part I get. But my question is the OP did have sensible browser selected, before changing it to specify Chromium exclusively. So with that being said, and given the fact that his x-www-browser alternative as you pointed out was indeed pointing to Chromium as the default... Why didn't having the sensible browser option in exo-preferred-application work then?

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium as dafault browser??
@H_B OP didn't say what exo-preferred-application was set at originally.
He said setting it to Chromium worked, and also
mmm, well with "Debian Sensible Browser" too work
so it sounds as if Sensible Browser did work.
Maybe it had to be changed to something else and back again to get it to "stick". (I remember stuff like that in W98.) I'm not farmiliar with the internal workings of that xfce app, but I know this issue has come up before and can sometimes be fixed this way.
