Description Randy Barlow 2013-09-02 14:59:33 UTC
Please add Midori as an option for default browser in Gnome. Thanks!

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2013-09-02 16:34:33 UTC
Moving this over to control-center as I think thats where this can be set.

Comment 2 Kalev Lember 2013-09-08 00:42:41 UTC
On my F20 installation, Midori shows up fine in the gnome-control-center browser selection dialog:

It doesn't work for me in F19. After a fresh install and installing Midori the settings dialog only gives me Firefox as option.

Hasn't for 3 years:
http://www.hadess.net/2010_10_01_archive.html

Does midori have "x-scheme-handler/http" and "x-scheme-handler/https" as mime-types it can handle?

Not a control-center bug anyway.

Comment 5 Kevin Fenzi 2013-11-06 16:14:04 UTC
Yes, it does have those. I have no idea what the process beyond that is or where I could change anything in midori.

Comment 6 Alexander Pánek 2013-11-06 16:29:21 UTC
Thank you Bastien for the link. It led me to a solution (albeit not a "good" one):

sudo vim /usr/share/applications/defaults.list -> %s/firefox/midori/g

A midori.desktop file is available and it has almost the same mimetype list as Firefox has - besides XUL.

Running update-desktop-database in %post so that the mime-types are actually installed, to start with.
