how about provide some details?
Details about what?
does it affect other browsers too?
I *asked* you to forget about browser. Please do so....
I would now like to get xdg-email to bring up thunderbird and not kmail.....
So......
egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto'
KMail2.desktop
Attempt to change it....and no error message is presented.
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime default mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
'x-scheme-handler/mailto'
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto'
KMail2.desktop
^
*
* No change....
But the file has been updated
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ cat /home/egreshko/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
text/html=google-chrome.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/mailto=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-email
kf5.kio.core: "preferred service for x-scheme-handler/mailto" "kmail2"
<**** I don't want
this....
