From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: The "Preferred Applications", "Web Browser" tab has two check boxes: 1 - "Select a web browser" + a list of browsers 2 - "Custom web browser" + a custom text("mozilla %s" in RH9). In RH9 the 2nd is the default. Everything worked fine for me: if I clicked a link in a window, e.g. Evolution, Mozilla was launched. At some point this was broken: Galeon was launched instead. I realized that the ^first^ option + "Mozilla/Netscape 6" suboption was selected. But if I select the second option, it is not saved, i.e. the next time I launch the applet the first option is selected. After uninstalling Galeon, if I click a link nothing happens. Furthermore, if I select from the first option, say, "Konqueror", this one is saved, but it is not launched anyway. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.2.0.1-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open the "Preferred Applications" applet 2.change the default option 3.try to select the second, close the app and launch it again Actual Results: The second option is not saved when the application is closed Expected Results: It should be saved Additional info: This is a fresh new RH9 installation.
It works fine here. Can you please test with a more recent version and see if it works? Otherwise can you run gnome-default-applications-properties from a console and see if there is any output when you try to change the value?
This thing happened to me also after updating mozilla-firefox; Firefox was selected on Custom and I updated it (Software updates from Firefox). Next I noticed that when i click from gaim it opens firefox but not navigates to link. Only when I select Epiphany (first in list) everything goes smoothly. If I select Mozilla (second in list) or something on Custom next time I open Preferred Applications no radio button is selected; Epiphany is chosen in the combobox and mozilla -1.6 %s written on Custom. I opened it from a terminal and did not output anything.
