[Bug 922264] Re: default browser has changed, but not for thunderbird (and prefers firefox?)

[Chris Coulson]

This isn't a Thunderbird bug then :)

Thunderbird, like most applications, uses gio to look up protocol
handlers. In 11.04, this lookup was delegated to gvfs which looked up
the handlers from some keys in gconf. In 11.10, glib was changed so that
gio uses the same mechanism that already exists for looking up mimetype
handlers (eg, desktop files), using the x-scheme-handler types for
protocol handlers.

It looks like your configuration tool hasn't been updated for the glib
changes, else there would be a "x-scheme-handler/http=chromium-
browser.desktop" in the "[Default Applications]" section of your
mimeapps.list
