            Bug ID: 2242063
           Summary: xdg-mime set to nemo-autorun-softwaredesktop. Desktop
                    programs don't open a browser (Evolution, Thunderbird,
                    evince, atril, ...)
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 38
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: cinnamon
          Severity: medium
          Assignee: leigh123linux(a)googlemail.com
          Reporter: fedora(a)werner.gold
        QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
                CC: epel-packagers-sig(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,

                    riehecky(a)fnal.gov
  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora



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
