Hello eveyone,

I have a weird problem; I have both Firefox and Google Chrome installed
and Firefox is my default browser.  However for some reason html files
are always opened in Google Chrome when opened with exo-open or
xdg-open.

$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
firefox.desktop
$ exo-open --launch WebBrowser # this opens Firefox

However,
$ exo-open  /path/to/local/file.html
$ xdg-open  /path/to/local/file.html

opens /path/to/local/file.html in Google Chrome.

Any ideas?
