Does not honor x-www-browser

See original GitHub issue

Description

I have firefox and chromium installed and I want riot-web to open links in firefox as it is my default browser. x-www-browser reflects that.

Steps to reproduce

  • Click on a link
  • Riot-web opens the link using chromium

I expect a link to be opened in the browser that x-www-browser points to:

$ update-alternatives --display x-www-browser
x-www-browser - auto mode
  link best version is /usr/bin/firefox
  link currently points to /usr/bin/firefox
  link x-www-browser is /usr/bin/x-www-browser
  slave x-www-browser.1.gz is /usr/share/man/man1/x-www-browser.1.gz
/usr/bin/chromium - priority 40
/usr/bin/firefox - priority 70
  slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz

Version information

  • Platform: desktop
  • OS: Debian Stretch
  • Version: 0.11.4

@nblock, weirdly there have been no changes to the electron side of the app in a few releases
