Hi @salome,

I use KDE, but I’ve just installed lxtask to test this and mine works flawlessly.

  • Are you sure you default browser is set correctly?
  • Or it might be a MIME type association.

Unfortunately, I don’t know where else to check or/and test.

Hope this helps.

Edit:

Accoring to this page:

Alternate way is to add the following line export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox to your ~/.bashrc

So, assuming you use ZSH, the command to make that permanent would be:

$ echo "export BROWSER=<directory_to_browser_executable>" >> ~/.zshrc

If you use bash the command would be:

$ echo "export BROWSER=<directory_to_browser_executable>" >> ~/.bashrc

For example, in my case the directory is

/usr/bin/firefox

So the command would be

$ echo "export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox" >> ~/.zshrc

That should, in theory at least, set it.

Hope this helps!
