LibreOffice help runs wrong application, how to resolve

[burtbick2]

I have the LBRY application installed and LibreOffice application launch LBRY instead of Firefox.

Running Ubuntu 19.10 (actually PopOS 19.10)

I have checked and Firefox is listed as the preferred (default) web browser application for Ubuntu and also in Firefox it says that it is currently my default browser but LibreOffice seems to be ignoring that.

Even totally killing ALL libry running code doesn’t resolve the issue. Hitting F1 or selecting help from the menu in LibreOffice launches LBRY. So I was trying find if there is a script somewhere or a configuration setting in LibreOffice that drives this. I’m not having the issue with other applications like Thunderbird that launch a browser.

I’ve sent a help request to LBRY but thought I’d ask here to see if there are any suggestions on how to track down the problem.

Thanks,
Burt

I’m having the same issue. I’m running Debian, LibreOffice 7.0.1.2 and LBRY 0.48. When I run LibreOffice on my Mac and hit F1, the browser opens with a uri of file:// so LibreOffice is probably asking the Linux desktop environment to open a file in a browser, but LBRY must also set itself up to open uri’s of type file://.

Did you ever get this figured out? I’m thinking its an issue with LBRY and not LibreOffice.
