[Bug 430821] Re: default browser setting has no effect

[Raphaël Hertzog]

The problem is not in dpkg. The association between links and
applications has changed several times in GNOME. There's no point to
keep this old report open. Use your GNOME settings to pick the default
browser. Those alternatives are almost useless.

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  www.ubuntu.com

  Right clicking a link and "Open Link" opens firefox on one machine,
  midori on another

  Expected result: Epiphany should be opened.

  Ubuntu 9.04
