Are you saying that, after making the xdg-settings changes, if you do
xdg-open
http://fedoraproject.org
it still opens firefox and not chrome?
Ooops we are talking about two different things.
xdg-open
http://fedoraproject.org opens the chrome browser and loads the
fedora page, *but only does so from the command line*.
What I am searching for, is a solution, which allows we to right-click
on a url, and select 'Open Link in Browser' and have the same result.
At present, NOTHING happens when I do the right-click thing. It does not
matter if chrome is open or not: nothing happens.
It is neat that xdg-open does what it does, but, as noted, command line
only, which kinda defeats the urge to "just click that random link - you
know you want to".
