[Bug 670128] Re: gnome-open uses firefox while it's not the preferred browser

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package xdg-utils - 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu2

---------------
xdg-utils (1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * Fix LP: #670128 - gnome-open uses firefox while it's not the preferred
    browser. Backport upstream changes to use the x-scheme-handler types
    for checking/setting the default browser/mail client in xdg-settings
    and xdg-email. In addition to this, we fix xdg-mime to get/set
    default mimetype handlers using the users mimeapps.list, rather than
    the defaults.list, which doesn't work anywhere
    - add debian/patches/gnome-3.0.diff
    - update debian/patches/series
