Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.22.3-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After my update of sunday, when I was clicking on a HTTP link, my system was using
thunderbird instead of firefox. Which is not how my system was configured.

Of course it didn't worked. But after a while I saw my system become REALLY slow.
Which is anormal. My 4 CPUs was using more than 70% and my load average above 4.

By checking my process I saw this:

    kgaspard 31068  0.0  0.0  11352  3172 tty2     S+   10:43   0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/thunderbird http://www.digitick.com/ultra-vomit-concert-alhambra-paris-05-mai-2017-css4-digitick-pg101-ri4497323.html
    kgaspard 31081 42.5  0.7 1447004 125636 tty2   Rl+  10:43   0:00 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird http://www.digitick.com/ultra-vomit-concert-alhambra-paris-05-mai-2017-css4-digitick-pg101-ri4497323.html
    kgaspard 31126  0.0  0.0  11352  3264 tty2     S+   10:43   0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/thunderbird http://www.digitick.com/ultra-vomit-concert-alhambra-paris-05-mai-2017-css4-digitick-pg101-ri4497323.html
    kgaspard 31138  0.0  0.2 422272 45780 tty2     S+   10:43   0:00 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird http://www.digitick.com/ultra-vomit-concert-alhambra-paris-05-mai-2017-css4-digitick-pg101-ri4497323.html
    kgaspard 31140  0.0  0.0      0     0 tty2     Z+   10:43   0:00 [thunderbird] <defunct>

and when I killed all of these process, my system stopped to be slow.

I checked the default application for HTTP and it was thunderbird. I changed that
to firefox and I didn't had this problem since.

I think the update of sunday modified my default application.

I don't have a patch to help you, I don't have the knowledge, so I report it.

I tried to report it to GNOME project but they said I should probably do it here.
(this is was I reported on the GNOME project: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780899)

I hope I'm not doing useless noise again.

PS: Sorry for my english.
