Problem description
My applications can't open a link in Firefox.
I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS - with Gnome, I only have a few applications installed as well.
This problem is tied mainly to Telegram and Spotify. I could sign in some JetBrain IDE, in the early minutes of my installed, and I can still get them through the terminal (firefox example.com).
Some info
The command file /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser outputs
/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser: symbolic link to /usr/bin/firefox
1st fix tentative
When running sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser, I have the following
There is 1 choice for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).
Selection Path Priority Status
- 0 /usr/bin/firefox 40 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/firefox 40 manual mode
Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
I've tried to select the other, but nothing changed.
2nd fix tentative
Create ~/.local/share/applications/spotify.desktop (because I can't sign in, as it require a browser) with
Exec=firefox %U
But again, nothing better.
