I've had this since the latest 'major' update. I click on something with an html extension and it brings up Thunderbird instead of a browser. I've tried the GUI. I've grepped through /home/hermit/.local/share/mime
I'm just not getting anywhere. It' is getting annoying.

Re: Incorrect mime type for html, defaults to Thunderbird
You don't say what DE you are using. I guess you mean you click on a saved local html file? Most DEs allow you to right click on a file and select "Open With...", which shows a list of applications and also "Other Application..." or something similar. Click on that and select which one you want and tick the check box which says something like "Always use this application for this type of file".

Edit ~/.config/mimeapps.list instead.hermit wrote:I've grepped through /home/hermit/.local/share/mime
For the lazy:
Code: Select all
sed -i 's/thunderbird/firefox-esr/' ~/.config/mimeapps.list

That did it. I had temporarily fixed it by tying the function to a specific app but this is the better/correct solution. Thank you very much. I appreciate your input.
