[Qgis-user] change default webbrowser in qgis3 settings?

[Groene Bij]

Hi all,

I am sorry to repeat this question. I really hope someone can help.

Today I did a clean install of 3.4.5 and exporting a map with the plugin
qgis2web it still opens the webmap in IE. I don't use IE, haven't configured
it and it is not my default webbrowser in Win10.

Somehow, some setting in qgis 3 doesn't use my default windows settings
correctly.

 

Qgis 2.18.28 doesn't have this problem. I also did a clean install of
2.18.28 today, exported a map with the plugin and it opens in my default
webbrowser which is Firefox.

 

Is it a bug in 3.4.5?

Is there a setting somewhere to change the webbrowser used?

 

 

Gr.

Jeroen

Hi,

 

Is there a setting in qgis3 to change the default internet browser used by
processes?

For instance, qgis2web opens a webbrowser after exporting the webmap. In
qgis2.18 my default browser Firefox was opened. Now, qgis3.4.4 it opens IE.

 

According to Tom Chadwin (qgis2web) the plugin refers to a piece of Pyhton
code when opening the webbrowser:

The code which opens the browser when you export is:

https://github.com/tomchadwin/qgis2web/blob/master/qgis2web/maindialog.py#L3
42

 

It uses the Python webbrowser module:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/webbrowser.html

 

I have no experience with pyhon, so I hope there is a setting somewhere to
choose my default browser. Besides that, I do hope qgis3 will simply follow
the default settings from the OS.

 

Kind regards.
