Firefox tries to use "easytag" as file browser.

[robin_listas]

hi,

if I open the list of downloaded files in firefox (down arrow on top
right), right click on a file on the list, select "open containing
folder", I get "easytag" (an application to manage mp3 tags) instead of
any file browser.

This happened since I used easytag the other day, previously it worked
correctly.

I do not see where to change this back.

Using:

cer@Telcontar:~> rpm -qa | grep -i mozilla

Take a look at firefox-edit-preferences-applications
and find-out if you can change it to another application.

Easytag is not listed there at all.

Usually, Firefox saves all relevant changes.

Maybe you can search the "about:" pages for the string "Easytag", esp. "about:config", "about: plugins", "about:addons" via "about:about"?

Nothing in the firefox configuration anywhere points to easytag. I
scanned the entire .mozilla/ folder with grep.

The only references are in the places.sqlite because I have a page open
on the easytag site.


It must be the desktop who chooses to open files with easytag when
firefox asks.

Hi,
I'm not using easytag so I have no idea how it works, but maybe
worth looking to the configuration of easytag. there might be an
option somewhere to disable it running inside firefox

easytag is not a file browser, it can not work as such, and it has
nothing configurable related to firefox. I looked, just in case.

Hi,

Same openSUSE problem as yours with solution.

Wow! Thanks! Yes, you are right, that old thread (2008) has the clue.


It is the file "/usr/share/applications/defaults.list" which contains a
bad entry:

x-directory/normal=easytag.desktop

which is surprising, because the file is dated Jun 8. No, wrong, it is a
symlink to "/var/cache/gio-2.0/gnome-defaults.list" which is dated Sep
29 15:24.

I was looking at "/etc/mime.types" instead.

A restart of firefox did not work, probably I have to restart the session.

And next problem is finding out what modified the file, in order to find
whom to report the bug. easytag rpm, probably.
