[Bug 353372] Re: BOINC patch 003 launches the wrong browser

[Joseph Stateson]

I have a different symptom but I suspect it is the same problem.   Two
new installs of 9.1 ubuntu and one new install of Dotsch_UX (8.1 ubuntu)
do NOT launch any browser when clicking on a boincmgr project url.  echo
$BROWSER shows firefox at /usr/bin, preferred-browser also brings up
firefox and firefox is listed as the preferred browser under system-
preferences.  It just does not launch.  However, if  I install Epiphany
and set Epiphany to the default browser then boincmgr correclty launches
Ephipany.  Bringing up the terminal again the command echo $BROWSER
still shows firefox.and sensible-browser still launches firefox.

my 2c says something is broken
