Adobe air hard-codes web browser to firefox

November 19th, 2009 by robg

I have been using chromium as my primary browser. Unfortunately I have been using some adobe air twitter clients, and they ignore my preferred browser setting.

I found this page: http://blog.andreaolivato.net/open-source/change-adobe-air-apps-default-browser.html.

I followed this except my link pointed to chromium-browser, and the file was simply “/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/libCore.so”.

    A better option. Make the symlink point to /usr/bin/x-www-browser. Air will then use your preferred browser to open links, whatever that may be.
