OK.....try this....
manually edit the file /usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list to reflect
x-scheme-handler/http=opera.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=opera.desktop
I just did that and tested it on a KDE only F26 system and it worked just fine with both T-Bird and Evolution.
Nope, that didn't do it either (even after logging out and in again). I also double-checked the above file to make sure the edit was correct:
$ grep http /usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list x-scheme-handler/http=opera.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=opera.desktop
I even tried the same trick but with google-chrome.desktop (in case there was somthing peculiar about Opera) and that didn't work either.
I also tried logging in under Gnome (desperate times require desperate measures :-) but again it made no difference.
Well, this is bizarre....
After I did what I did, and thought that was the answer I can no longer change back to either firefox or google-chrome.
Since this is a VM I think I'll restore the snap shot and try a few more things.
Thanks for taking the time Ed. You've already spent more effort on this than I have :-) However it clearly indicates a bug, even if it's "only" at the level of usability. If we can narrow it down I'll be happy to report it to BZ.
