Original Post — Direct link

When I go to the mod screens and click on the "homepage" link for a mod, Factorio starts up Firefox. My default browser is Chrome, and nothing else starts up Firefox to open a link.

I can't find a setting to change this. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm on Linux with Steam, if it matters.

Guess we'll need to wait for the devs to tell us how Factorio invokes a web browser on Linux then - it should use xdg, but I guess it doesn't - unless your xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler says firefox rather than being empty?

Linux does this:

#ifdef LINUX
    runProcessDontWait("/usr/bin/xdg-open", {"xdg-open", location});
#endif
