Element Desktop doesn't handle this, its down to Electron which I believe delegates to xdg-open
.
xdg-open correctly opens in firefox. I'm not sure how to test Electron
As an update: I've installed yet another browser (for some external testing purposes), and Element now chooses the last installed browser to open http/https. xdg-open is still not affected, so it's an Element issue, I fear..
so it's an Element issue, I fear..
Electron* given we rely on https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/shell#shellopenexternalurl-options doing the right thing - https://github.com/element-hq/element-desktop/blob/develop/src/webcontents-handler.ts#L56
Steps to reproduce
Reproduce: Open element-desktop Click on a link See the wrong browser being opened
Outcome
My gnome settings for my preferred browser are set to firefox (update-alternatives x-www-browser and gnome-www-browser). All apps use firefox to open web pages when I click on links.
Element version: 1.11.64 Crypto version: Rust SDK 0.7.0 (61b175b), Vodozemac 0.5.1 insists to open links in another browser, which is installed on the system as well.
Uninstalling of the browser and element-desktop has not changed anything
