Links fail to open in browser #284

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In running hotot, links fail to open in a browser when clicked.

This is running on Ubuntu 10.10, with firefox 3.6.13 as the default browser. 
The desktop is gnome. The hotot version is 0.9.5.

Please provide any additional information below.

Similar problem here. If I start it from the terminal it will open fine, but 
when I start it from something like gmrun, it won't start a browser. I finally 
figured out that xdg-open in the terminal takes the $BROWSER variable into 
consideration. Thus it would start from the terminal. So, I just modified 
xdg-open (with a patch like I attatched). So, in my case, this wasn't really a 
problem with Hotot. Your problem might be since xdg-open (I think) will 
automatically detect firefox.

OS: Arch Linux
WM: Openbox
Browser: xdg-open... but icecat or uzbl-tabbed really

Firefox is my default browser. Will try Garrett's solution next time I get the 
chance.
