14909	xdg-open of html files on RHEL 9 invokes ChimeraX instead of web browser	Guillaume Gaullier <guillaume.gaullier@…>	Greg Couch	"Hello,


I encountered an annoying behavior of ChimeraX on Rocky Linux 9.3, installed with the RPM package: ChimeraX seems to have declared itself the default application to open local html files.

When I need to open an html file in ChimeraX's browser, I do it from within ChimeraX. But when I double-click on an html file, I want it to open in my default web browser (which is already running most of the time, and if not it still starts faster than ChimeraX).


I could revert this behavior. I also checked that this doesn't happen on a Mac.

If it is intended, in my experience it's been mostly getting in the way when doing tasks unrelated to ChimeraX, so maybe it is worth reconsidering.


Cheers,
