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

[Anders Kaseorg]

This bug is still present in chromium-browser.  (To be sure, I tested
again with chromium-browser 10.0.648.204~r79063-0ubuntu2 and xdg-utils
1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu2.)

See Chris’s comment #16: “Chromium is shipping its own xdg-mime and xdg-
settings, so I've assigned myself to that too”.

** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu Natty)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed
