Looks like Konqueror or Firefox aren't exporting that they handle the x-scheme-handler/http mime-type. Can you reproduce the bug with GNOME 3.6-based setup?

Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2012-10-16 12:19:11 UTC 
What's the output of:
gvfs-mime --query x-scheme-handler/http
on your system?
Comment 8 Vladimir Benes 2012-10-16 12:49:46 UTC 
No default applications for 'x-scheme-handler/http'
Comment 9 Matthias Clasen 2012-10-16 13:07:25 UTC 
firefox-16.0.1-1.fc18.x86_64 does claim to support x-scheme-handler/http, and it does show up in the control-center combo box here. Whats different in rhel7 ?
Comment 10 Vladimir Benes 2012-10-16 13:31:34 UTC 
$ rpm -q firefox
firefox-10.0.8-2.el7.x86_64
Comment 11 Matthias Clasen 2012-10-16 14:16:36 UTC 
So, I assume this will sort itself out when we get the next esr with firefox 17.

Vladimir, can you file a separate bug against konqueror for adding x-scheme-handler/http ?
Comment 13 Bastien Nocera 2012-10-16 15:46:38 UTC 
Can we close this as NOTABUG or reassign it to Firefox?
Comment 16 Radek Bíba 2013-03-06 12:22:48 UTC 
Firefox and Konqueror are available on my system, but only Konqueror is in the menu. Additionally, when I click a link in a non-KDE application, a Konqueror window is opened, but the home page is displayed instead of the desired URL. Steps to reproduce: run yelp, scroll down to About, click it, click the link to the license.
Comment 17 Martin Stransky 2013-03-14 14:55:10 UTC 
Added to firefox-17.0.4-2.el7
Comment 18 Martin Stransky 2013-03-19 07:10:18 UTC 
Built in brew, will be a part of next compose.
Comment 20 Vladimir Benes 2013-03-19 08:37:09 UTC 
it now works as expected ;-)
