Gnome-open opens urls only in firefox [SOLVED]

Hi,
I've been facing a problem since I switched from firefox to chromium, all the apps open urls in firefox.
I've been investigating a little to find xdg-open uses gnome-open to open my urls.
I've set up custom/chromium %s in Preffered Applications (I checked it's made in gconf too), but
gnome-open http://archlinux.org
keeps opening with firefox.
I also tried to set epiphany as default browser, it doesn't work either.
(I'm using 64bits Arch with multilib repository on, if that changes anything)
Thanks for any clue!
Joel

Well, solved by removing the package exo that was installed with xfce software... strange, but it worked.
pacman -R exo

  • Sites won't open from bookmarks, only in Firefox

    Sites won't open in Firefox when I use Firefox bookmarks. If I type the www into the navigation bar, I go to the site. With Opera, the bookmarks imported from Firefox work. Using Firefox 17.0 and Apple 10.7.5

    hello kkelley1933, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • URL Iview is not open a new Window in FireFox

    Hi Guys,
    After we upgrade our portal to NW 7.0 EHp2 SP6 , we can not open the URL Iviews in Firefox.
    It looks like can't force the iview to open a new window and instead it open a new tab , Any suggestion?
    Thanks,

    Hi Mar,
    To me, the PAM mentioned Firefox 3.5 is not recommended for NW 7.0 Ehp2 - Firefox 3.6 is supported for NW 7.0 Ehp2 starting with SPS6.
    Anyway, if it works in IE & Safari, I don't think it has anything to do with the portal; it's something in Firefox settings.  As mentioned before, did you check the option to open new links in new windows? Also, please checkSAP Note 1296463 and its related notes about browsers to see if there's something relevant to your case.

  • How can I stop my Firefox browser from preventing Click Earner, a program that opens email ads on safelists, from opening the URL's in the email ads?

    Hello fellow-users of Mozilla Firefox,
    I send email ads using 20 different safelists every day. To get credits for sending those ads I click email ads sent by other subscribers.
    Since early this year I've been using Click Earner -- http://www.clickearner.net/ -- to help speed up this task. Click Earner "fetched"
    the emails from each safelist and opened each URL advertised in each email. This was a very quick job and all I did was close each tab
    displaying the URL. Credits for clicking the URL were added to my safelists accounts.
    Since a week ago, without me doing anything at all, my Click Earner stopped opening the emails automatically as was the case for
    several months since I started using it. Click Earner support claimed Firefox prevented the program from opening the URL in a new tab each time it fetched an email ad. True enough, yesterday when I watched Click Earner in action I saw a pop-up from Firefox saying something like "Firefox prevented..." I couldn't read the rest as the pop-up disappeared immediately. And that was the only
    time I saw it.
    Right now I have to open each URL manually to see the ad and earn credits. This is a very slow process, just the same as when I open the emails in my gmail account. It's useless for me to subscribe to Click Earner. And it takes forever for me to earn credits from all the safelists.
    I'd appreciate it very much if any one of you folks would help me overcome this glitch. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in anticipation.
    Regards,
    Tom Graciano

    You could try turning off Firefox's pop-up blocker.
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
    There you will find a checkbox for "Block pop-up windows". Assuming it's checked, uncheck it.
    Does that return to the behavior you want?

  • When I open a new windox in Firefox 3.6.10 on Windows XP, it opens not only a new window, but all my existing tabs reopen in the new window too--how do I fix this?

    Whenever I open a new window in Firefox, it not only opens a new window with a new tab, it also opens all my existing tabs a second time in the new window. This has been happening for several days. Closing Firefox and rebooting doesn't solve the problem.
    A related problem is that if I close all tabs and close Firefox, then reboot and re-open Firefox, all the tabs that were closed re-open too.
    This is new behavior in Firefox in my experience.

    Firefox opens the home pages in a new window, so if you want to open a new window blank then you need to set the home page to about:blank
    You can check the startup setting:<br />
    Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" | "Show a blank page"

  • How is one supposed to Fix Firefox when the computer does not open the new edition of Firefox that you just downloaded? Am I the ONLY one to ever have had thi

    I run win7 64x pro. This is a restatment of problem I posted yesterday I have a hard time believing I'm the first to ever have this problem which is as follows: I used CC Cleaner because of FunMoods, which is the onlt thing I have found that removes that virus thoroughly
    Having done that-Face book and a few other sites came up as hyperlinks only with no illustrations, So- I deleted Firefox completely and downloaded a new copy. It downloads but won't open. I used an old copy-13.0 & same thing-does not open.
    I have used Firefox for Win since it came out.. My rule of logic with computers is that when I have some problem I cannot solve myself- I CANNOT be the first person to have had that problem yet I see no answers. I would appreciate some help. Thank you.

    I am the same one who posted that question though the problem is exactly as described.. I watch the progress bar unpack the download and then it gives me the choice-run with previous settings or as administrator using a password.
    Either way-I do not get a new browser. I do get a screen saying that my previous settings may be partially lost. I think a month ago I had also used CC cleaner. At that time-right clicking worked. Now it does not matter. Clicking on the Mozilla download gives me the progress bar but NO unpacked browser.

  • Link to published course only works when you right-click open in new tab/window (Firefox)

    I have encountered an issue where my published captivate course will not load correctly (all I get is a black screen) in Firefox when clicking on the web link. All I get is a black screen. Refreshing doesn't help either. However if I instead right click on the hyperlink and select "open in a new tab" or "open in a new window" the course loads properly. I have been told that it works just fine in IE and Chrome.
    If any of you would like to test this in Firefox visit http://www.wakeprecinctofficials.com/p/training-resources.html and the link in question is called the Laptop 101 Online Course. I appreciate any help. Thanks

    I tested your link in Firefox 3.6 and IE9.  Black screen only in Firefox.  Works fine in IE.

  • Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

    Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • When I click on a link, multiple(and by multiple, I mean a ton) blank tabs open. The only way to stop more blank tabs from opening is to close out of firefox completely. Do I have a virus or do I need to change my settings?

    If I click on something to open in a new tab or click on someone's email to open Outlook, instead of doing that, a bunch of blank tabs open. I'm fine with a couple blank tabs, but they keep opening. The only way to stop the tabs from opening is to close out of firefox entirely. When I try to reopen firefox, blank tabs again begin to reopen. You can't close out of them fast enough because they keep opening. To stop opening the blank tabs, you must restart firefox a second time.
    Is this a virus or something wrong with my firefox settings??

    Firefox includes options of how to handle different content types, in your case the mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For details of how to fix this see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section "Change the action for a content type".

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • Why am I unable to select within the URL bar of a new tab after opening a .pdf file in Firefox 4?

    To repeat the problem:
    1.) Open a .pdf file in Firefox 4
    2.) Open a new tab by using the (+) tab button
    3.) Try to select within the URL bar (unsuccessful)
    I cannot seem to direct my browser to a new website in a new tab after viewing a .pdf file within the browser.

    Restore your default toolbar by going to Customize - Restore Default Set. I just found it out myself.
