Comment 0 for bug 1085803

On LMDE the installed Internet browser is Firefox, but in the file "/usr/share/applications/defaults.list" the default browser is:
[...]
application/xhtml+xml=epiphany.desktop
text/html=epiphany.desktop
[...]

As epiphany is not installed by default, the html files are opened with any of the associated mime-type applications (in my case Thunderbird) and that is annoying.

This can be overridden replacing "epiphany.desktop" with "firefox.desktop" in the file "/usr/share/applications/defaults.list", becoming:
[...]
application/xhtml+xml=firefox.desktop
text/html=firefox.desktop
[...]
