Hi guys! So a few weeks ago I installed ‘WinApps’, which allows for running any windows app in Linux…through an RDP viewport. For almost any app, it really feels like its running natively within your Linux DE, and it really is awesome.
Anyway, I think during the app setup, it kinda associated any/all URL links to be opened by Firefox…the one running within Windows! So whenever I click on an URL, it spins up the VM, or if already running, it opens a WINDOWS Firefox. I tried changing the default in my KDE settgins - Default Applications - Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox (the Linux one!). So the behavior now when I click on any URL is…to open a blank Linux Firefox window. It ignores the clicked link and it doesn’t open anything else. What can I do to associate the URLs with Firefox?
Thanks!
xdg-open is responsible for handling those. You just need to change what it thinks the default might be: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1ha9czj/setting_default_browser_for_opening_links_with/
