They also show firefox.desktop, however if I try to change it:
$ xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler http opera.desktop
$ xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler http
firefox.desktop
IOW I can't change it. (And yes, the opera.desktop file exists.)
Does the opera.desktop file contain a MimeType line and does it include
x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; on that line?
If it doesn't, add it.
Then, as root run... update-desktop-database -q
And try again the xdg-settings set commands.
