Clicking in-game URL does not load the page in my browser.

[Guest]

Hello.
With my previous Kubuntu installation, if I clicked on a http URL in Second Life it would load the page in firefox.
Now with my rather fresh Kubuntu install, clicking these URLs does nothing at all, so I have to copy-paste them in my browser.

Something I tried was...
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4...tocol-in-linux

open firefox
type in about:config to location bar
add new string
name: network.protocol-handler.app.myapp
value: /path/to/program

But that was an answer to a problem that was not really the same as mine... I'm not trying to use a different protocol.
In the KDE settings, I have firefox set as my default browser.
Does anyone have an idea why clicking on links does not open the page in any browser?

Please show the output of

update-alternatives --get-selections | grep browser

Ohhh it works now.
At first it gave me...

gnome-www-browser              auto     /usr/bin/firefox
infobrowser                    auto     /usr/bin/info
x-www-browser                  auto     /usr/bin/rekonq

I googled x-www-browser and it brought me to http://askubuntu.com/questions/10076...on-default-bro
So I did ...

sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

  Selection    Path              Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /usr/bin/firefox   40        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/firefox   40        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/rekonq    40        manual mode

When I choose option 0 or 1, the links works, and when I choose options 2, the links don't work.
So now when I type update-alternatives --get-selections | grep browser, I get...

gnome-www-browser              auto     /usr/bin/firefox
infobrowser                    auto     /usr/bin/info
x-www-browser                  auto     /usr/bin/firefox

So, thank you! I didn't know where to start before this.
Now I would like to change the tag to [Solved] but I can't find how, so I gather I'm not supposed to change it myself.

Glad to have helped. Good job on the Googling, too.

Re: marking solved... scroll your browser to the top of the page. Beneath the thread title is a menu bar. Click Thread tools. In the menu, click Mark this thread as solved.
