I have the same problem on F27. And it is quite annoying.

F27, KDE, Chrome, Thunderbird.
Using xdg-settings does not work*for me*, nor do the various settings =
in the
Thunderbird config, such as network.protocol-handler-app.http



Are you saying that, after making the xdg-settings changes, if you do

xdg-open http://fedoraproject.org

it still opens firefox and not chrome?

Ooops we are talking about two different things.
xdg-open http://fedoraproject.org opens the chrome browser and loads the fedora page, *but only does so from the command line*.

What I am searching for, is a solution, which allows we to right-click on a url, and select 'Open Link in Browser' and have the same result.

At present, NOTHING happens when I do the right-click thing. It does not matter if chrome is open or not: nothing happens.

It is neat that xdg-open does what it does, but, as noted, command line only, which kinda defeats the urge to "just click that random link - you know you want to".
