Description fedora@werner.gold 2023-10-04 07:37:04 UTC
On a vanilla F38 installation with Cinnamon, none of the desktop programs is able to open a browser tab.
$ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https
nemo-autorun-software.desktop

The expected behavior would be opening a browser, which does not work.
Regardless of the setting in system preferences.
Changing the mime setting for http(s) to a desktop file of a paticular browser seems to be a valid workaround with the disadvantage of having set the browser type directly.
xdg-mime default google-chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/http
xdg-mime default google-chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/https



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F38 with Cinnamon as the Desktop.
2. Start any application that has links in a document
3. Click the link
Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Open a browser window/tab
