Netflix is running fine on Vivaldi.

Seriously considering ditching Firefox and using Vivaldi as alternative browser.

Jocklad.

I have them both. Ánd Chromium with the extra codecs. All great and sometimes one can do what another can't.

(At the moment I have a tiny issue with Vivaldi 1.7.. Some strange jump of workspace and deleting then of tabs in the browser when I click special forum-link in the emailreader. I don't know what that speciallity might be. I use 1.5.. for now. I reported on the Vivaldi-forum. But it is a great browser. I use it from the beginning.)

Vivaldi is a very capable browser; it is also very customizable. For me Vivaldi is the fastest browser to surf the web in Linux... it is also the slowest to launch though but it is so snappy for surfing and feature rich that the extra 2 seconds to launch is a very small price to pay for a nice browsing boost.

How does the Help Manual render in Vivaldi?

Had a browse through the Help Manual on Vivaldi.

Found it to be sharp and very snappy.

Must explore this Browser further,never used it before.

Looking very good.

Linuxlite 3.4x64 beta.

Vivaldi stable downloaded and installed through Gdebi. No errors.

Firefox set as default browser in lite tweaks.... No errors.

Vivaldi set as default browser in Lite Tweaks.... No errors.

Help manual opened in Vivaldi.

Opened Preferred applications and Vivaldi was set as default browser.

Cant see a problem here.

Thank you, Jocklad. I appreciate it!

Can someone else running Linux Lite 3.4 BETA install an additional browser supported in Lite Tweaks and try to duplicate the issue reported by jim217 please? I cannot replicate the issue at all.

Lite Tweaks recognizes and can set as default the following browsers:

Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome, Midori, Pale Moon and Vivaldi (Stable)

What to test?

Install an additional browser (any of the above mentioned)
Using Lite Tweaks set your default browser to Firefox.
Using Lite Tweaks set your default browser to the second installed browser.
Open URL links or Lite Help Manual from the WhiskerMenu or web links from the Lite Welcome Screen and verify that they open with the browser set as default by Lite Tweaks.
Open "Preferred Applications" and verify that the default browser matches the one set by Lite Tweaks.

This is a suggestion that might work for you. I use Pale Moon as my default browser & this worked for me. In Linux Lite, Firefox is the default browser. Go to Synaptic & search for Firefox. Right click & select to completely remove (1) Firefox, (2) the English language plugin, & (3) the Ubuntu Firefox plugin. You'll notice if you scroll down the list there are 3 boxes filled in for Firefox. After you uninstall restart your machine, go to lite tweaks & make sure Vivaldi is listed as your default browser. The good thing is if doesn't work for you, and you actually like Firefox, you can always reinstall it in Synaptic. Everytime I do a fresh install of Linux Lite, getting rid of Firefox is one of the first things I do. I find it slow, resource heavy, and almost impossible to get rid of all the built-in bloatware it comes with. (boy I'm not prejudice about Firefox, am I? - - - Yes, yes I am. I can't stand it)

I followed your advice above; still no joy.
Don't have this problem in either linux mint 18.1 xfce or xubuntu,
which makes me think it is something in Linux Lite.

Perhaps it has to do with the options in Vivaldi and Firefox browsers (settings) . I noticed that Vivaldi does not recognize itself as the default browser even though it is properly set by Lite Tweaks... Using Lite Tweaks my default browser is set to Vivaldi and all links including the Help Manual in Linux Lite are opened with Vivaldi (set as default browser with Lite Tweaks). Preferred applications also shows the correct set browser after Lite Tweaks (Vivaldi).

I wonder how browsers are checking whether they are the default browser or not in Linux Lite. Maybe we can add a hint somewhere with Lite Tweaks to help it?

ralphy · « **Reply #3 on:** March 06, 2017, 03:21:24 PM »

Suggestion:

1- Close all browsers
2- Launch Lite Tweaks and set Firefox as default browser (even if it is set already)
3- Set Vivaldi as default browser using Lite Tweaks once again.

What Vivaldo version are you running? I'm on Vivaldi 1.7.735.46 (Stable channel) (64-bit) and I cannot replicate the issue here.
