Ryan Lovett <ryan@OCF.Berkeley.EDU> [2004-08-11 10:30:21]: I'm having a very similar problem which probably stems from the same source. My "preferred browser" is "epiphany -n" since that opens the URL in a new tab in an existing window. Unfortunately gnome-open doesn't any longer use /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command but seems to check the file type of the remote file via PROPFIND or GET and then uses the program registered for text/html. This is "Web Browser" which I can only guess is "epiphany", since I don't grok the MIME system. > This happened to me too and I believe I fixed it by going to > gnome-file-type-properties and choosing Documents -> World Wide Web -> HTML > page -> Default action -> Galeon. You can choose Custom and enter firefox. When I manually enter "epiphany -n" here, gnome-open aborts with "Error showing url: The default action does not support this protocol." I suppose you have to somehow register that the application is able to open URLs. I suspect it's the new upstream version of libgnome but the MIME system is way to scary for me to be sure.
