Looks like there's more than one way to do be the default. IE: Firefox registers a lot more handlers and such, where chromium only does two. Had to remove all the other firefox ones before chromium would be default again though perhaps I should leave firefox on ftp? since chromium doesn't claim it and when it wasn't set, the IE in wine was launching for it. For me, it was to try to get chromium to be the default and stay the default....instead of epiphany (or after I installed calibre - calibre-ebook-viewer) Which I would fix by having to remember to edit the mimeinfo.cache file after an update. With this change, it would remain default after an update (if I forget to reapply this patch, links cause calibre-ebook-viewer to start...but reapplying the patch and reinstalling the port was all I needed to do to get chromium back as default. Chromium is looking for a file named 'chromium-browser.desktop' to determine the desktop environment and to be able to create application shortcuts, so that's still right. Not sure how to have chromium compete with firefox. Not sure how opera is supposed to work if it wants to be default. (the current problem of how flash is[n't] working in chromium had me thinking if I should switch browsers again.... right now its chrome/chromium on all the systems, except for Solaris. Before chrome it was Firefox....and let's not speak of what things were like before that.) Perhaps what's needed is to figure out a consistent way for all the browsers to get along on which ever is the desired default.
