Opening an external browser from an RCP application opens Firefox instead of the default browser on Linux.

Question

When I open an external browser from my RCP application using:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getBrowserSupport().getExternalBrowser().openURL(url)

It opens firefox instead of the default system browser (chrome) on Linux (Ubuntu). My default browser is configured correctly through update alternatives, and links from Eclipse actually open in Chrome. The mime text / html type is also set to chrome.

Answer 1

It is assumed that you can install this via jcontrol-> advanced, faring down, but I cannot force Cisco ASDM to open anything other than Firefox on my Fedora in the world.
