It turns out, when a user uses the XFCE Settings Manger to change the Default Browser, the XFCE Settings daemon, xfsettingsd, adds them. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out who and when the lines below were added to $HOME/.config/mimeapps.list. HHHmmm…Ī side note, I ran into an interesting gotcha.
They could be changed in the GUI or in the file ~/.config/mimeapps.list.Īctually when I click on any link it will open chrome One thing I noticed, even though a user might have set the default browser, XFCE doesn’t change the application for specific mimetypes (Default Applications > Others) if “User Set”. There are various commands (xdg-mime, mimetype, file) that try to determine what application handles a mimetype or what mimetype a file is.
#EVERYTIME I CLICK A LINK IT OPENS A NEW TAB CHROME INSTALL#
Did you create your own desktop file or install a different package? This was already set for me when I installed the package google-chrome from AUR. In the file there is at least one line that looks like: There should be a file, /usr/share/applications/sktop. XFCE settings > Default Applications > Internet > Web Browser. I assume you made Chrome your default browser by going to: It sounds like Chrome is acting like your default browser but is not opening the URL.
