Firefox strange way of handling downloaded items

[Valtam]

Not sure what happened along the way, but at some point file associations have been changed.

Go into your home folder, press Ctrl+H. This will show/hide hidden files.

First, back up: /home/buddy/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list by right clicking on it, Create back up copy.
Then edit the original by taking out all the old contents, and replacing with:

Code:

[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=exo-web-browser.desktop

Then open a terminal and do:

Code:

ln -s /etc/gnome/defaults.list /etc/skel/.local/share/applications/

Open Firefox and do, History, Clear Recent History, Time range to clear: Everything, tick everything and clear it all.

Now reboot.
