There are 7 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing
/usr/bin/x-www-browser).

All-in-all I don't really care which browser is my "default" browser....

Firefox keeps switching between being the default browser, to not
being the default browser, sometimes during the same session. I don't
know what's causing this, except that I have seen this behavior if I
launch Konqueror or PCManFM-Qt as a file manager.
I also have Vivaldi installed, both Stable and Snapshot, but I'm
wondering if the system is treating Konqueror as a web browser, not a
file manager... I could always try uninstalling Konqueror, but I don't
know if that would cause other issues with TDE.
xdg-settings indicates Firefox *is* the default browser, but Firefox
says it *isn't*.
There is a problem, somewhere...
