Bug - Fixed Linux relay browser launching broken

[nworbetan]

Sorry, that was with r11604.Incidentally, I just switched from Xubuntu to Fedora a couple weeks ago, and this build of Chromium apparently won't let me edit posts, and Reply With Quote doesn't look like I can use it either. Also, the "less than command greater than" I put between colons disappeared completely, and the advanced editor looks like it's MIA too.Maybe it's time to give Firefox another try, it's been a while.

I'll go ahead and go with the recommendation to rollback 11598, but I'm not convinced that everything won't just quietly fail again. That being said, to see what's going on with loading the default browser via fallback methods, can you go ahead and enter the following commands into your terminal?

xdg-open http://www.google.com/
exo-open http://www.google.com/
gnome-open http://www.google.com/
gvfs-open http://www.google.com/
sensible-browser http://www.google.com/
open http://www.google.com/
firefox http://www.google.com/
netscape http://www.google.com/

Stuff in (parentheses) are my comments.

EDIT: r11604 fixed the issue I was having.

Awesome, looks like switching the order on xdg-open and sensible-browser made things work the way you expected them to, or the original logic which used to return false for the AWT browser and forcing the fallback logic is now magically working and returning true. Either way, I'll mark this as fixed.
