[Solved] Terminal and default browser

I switched to XFCE4, earlier I was using Gnome 2. Also, I had used Chromium but switched back to Firefox. But now Terminal can't open links (with middleclick) to Firefox anymore. It uses Opera. If I remove Opera, it uses Chromium. I have set Firefox as a default browser in exo-preferred-applications, and xdg-open uses it. But Terminal doesn't recongzine that setting anymore.

It was reported here https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7140

I'm using Arch Linux and XFCE from package manager (Pacman). And I've tried to edit XFCE4 helper settings, terminalrc  etc. Nothing helps. I know I could switch to another terminal emulator, but I like Terminal, hope I can solve this.

Fixed in git: http://git.xfce.org/apps/terminal/commi … 1efd9a2367

However this is broken because the plugin functionality to handle uris has been removed from gio.

Adding x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list helped, thank you Nick!
