Created attachment 262874 [details] screenshot When I clicked on "Create account". Some little window with progress bar popped up and then text editor has opened. Use xdg-open for links in linux please. Linux Mint 17.3 Xfce, java 8, kernel 4.4.
This is most likely because you opened once html file with text editor and set this as default. Can you confirm this, and remove the default ?
Yes, you were right, mimeapps.list is pretty mazeful, so I didn't notice it first time :)
I personally think this is still a valid bug or at least enhancement request. Seems to me that "editor associations" should not influence what is opened for links in dialogs, if that is what you are saying. Seems they should always use "web browser" settings. Right? Or, am I misunderstanding?
Created attachment 263142 [details] component screenshot The default program for links (acually it was mimetype text/html) is choosed based on my OS settings. This peace of code (Eclipse User Storage Service) uses different mechanism from Eclipse Platform for defining web browser. After editing file $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/default_applications) this links began to open in Firefox (which is not the default browser). Now after more several edits they still open in my notepad app (Mousepad). I don't know how this component decides which app to use. So the bug is really reopened. I've tried to remove every entry with my Mousepad but Eclipse still opens links in mousepad...
