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

Tue Mar 5 00:49:33 PST 2019

Short update on this issue.

After entering QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl('http://qgis.org')) and seeing qgis3 opening the firefox browser, now qgis2web also always opens the firefox browser.
Restarts, new projects, old projects, now always my default browser is used. 

This solves my problem, but I have no idea what happened.
To me this is strange behavior, like the python line somehow changed a setting?

Greets,
Jeroen

This one opens Firefox...

So maybe it is an issue in qgis, I'll give it to Tom.

Sorry, wrong example, please try:

QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl('http://qgis.org'))
