[Bug 1310680] Re: Links are only opened if Firefox is installed

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

Same behaviour in Xenial if you don't have Firefox installed. Synaptic
should be opening sensible-browser instead, not Firefox.

** Summary changed:

- Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
+ Links are only opened if Firefox is installed

** Tags added: xenial

** Summary changed:

- Links are only opened if Firefox is installed
+ Links don't work

** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** No longer affects: firefox (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

- when you klick a link "Visit Homepage" in Synaptic do you get this error
- message (Firefox not runing)
- 
- messagebox:
- Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
- 
- if firefox already open link "Visit Homepage" is working.
