Sorry if this is already answered. I did search but couldn't find anything.
I have 4.10 on Fedora 16. When I click on a help button it opens in Firefox even though in Default applications the default browser is set to Chrome.
I have checked in the Mime Type Editor, great addition to Xfce by the way despite the name, and there is no mention of Firefox anywhere in there.
Not sure where else to look.

Are you sure you have set it up in exo-preferred-applications and not in gnome-whatever? What does 'cat ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc' return?
Kind regards, Christoph

Hi Christoph
Yes it is in exo-preferred-applications. I don't have Gnome, only Xfcc and KDE and both are set to Chrome.
Output of 'cat ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc' is WebBrowser=custom-WebBrowser FileManager=custom-FileManager TerminalEmulator=Terminal
Thanks
Jim

Sorry Christoph
Don't have
~/.local/share/applications/custom-WebBrowser.desktop but I do have
~/.local/share/xfce4/helpers/custom-WebBrowser.desktop It contains
[Desktop Entry] NoDisplay=true Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Type=X-XFCE-Helper X-XFCE-Category=WebBrowser X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter=/usr/bin/google-chrome "%s" Icon=google-chrome Name=google-chrome X-XFCE-Commands=/usr/bin/google-chrome
Creating a ~/.local/share/applications/custom-WebBrowser.desktop with the same content doesn't change anything (unless I should have logged out and back in first).
Thanks

Jim, what happens if you open the 'Preferred Applications' and choose 'Chomium'? (setting Chrome as the default from within the browser doesn't work properly as Xfce doesn't ship a helper for it and instead include it in the 'Chromium' helper)

I tried changing the setting to Chromium, which I don't have, and then Midori which is installed. In both cases it open help in Firefox.
I'll try installing Chromium and try again if anyone thinks it is worth testing. Won't be for a day or 2 though.
This isn't an important problem just thought I'd report it. It happens on 2 systems with different configurations so I don't think it is a config issue but I might try testing with a new user too.
