Default browser problem...

[invex]

I'm using Mint Cinnamon 19.
I set Vivaldi as my default browser.
However, some apps still open a page in Chrome.
For example Searchmonkey/Help/Release Notes.

Running command sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
shows that Vivaldi is my default browser:
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable 200 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/firefox 40 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable 200 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable 200 manual mode

Via Terminal:

Code: Select all

gvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/http vivaldi-stable.desktop
gvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/https vivaldi-stable.desktop

Thank you very much.

Have you tried file-browser->some htm(l) file -> open with -> vivaldi + set as default?

Of check

Code: Select all

~/.config/mimeapps.list

for htm(l) aznd the associated program... it could be in two places in the file, so check for the 2nd one.

Tnank you again.
No chrome in mimeapps.list. Only vivaldi.

try

Code: Select all

xdg-settings set default-web-browser vivaldi-stable.desktop

Didn't work
Searchmonkey/Help/Release Notes still opens in Chrome.

I used a guest account and tried Searchmonkey/Help/Release Notes.
It showed a popup saying:
Run configuration to set default web browser:
"http://searchmonkey.sf.net/index.php?ti ... ease_Notes"
There's nothing in configuration settings.
Using a regular account I opened Vivaldi and typed the above URL. It showed the release notes but using Searchmonkey it still opens Chrome.
Maybe it's caching it.

Thank you very much for your help and your patience with me.

Radical suggestion: Uninstall Chrome (your settings remain, don't worry), see if that changes anything.

Thank you for your tip.
I found in searchmonkey directory config.ini
I replaced chrome with vivaldi and it works fine.
(When I used searchmonkey first time my default browser was chrome.)
