Hi all,

Running Debian Stretch on KDE Desktop

I recently switched to Firefox-esr and removed iceweasel from my system. 
Some application help files now error out with: KDEInit could not launch 
'/usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel. As an example Rosegarden has the problem. 
How can I fix this.

su -c "update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox-esr"
su -c "update-alternatives --set gnome-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox-esr"

Hope that helps
Olivier

Thanks for you response. Unfortunately this didn't change anything. I 
still have the same problem with about 50% of my applications. Any help 
will be sincerely appreciated.

I don't know how to set this from any setting tool.
On my system there is the file ".local/share/applications/mimeapps.list"
containing the following lines

[Default Applications]
text/html=firefox.desktop
text/xml=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/mailto=icedove.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/ftp=firefox.desktop


Regards,
jvp.
