Should have mentioned I was launching the notebook from the anaconda-navigator interface, not the cli.
anticaptialista: I added the line “text/html=firefox-esr.desktop” to the mimeapps.list file and that seems to do the trick. Now launches the browser. Thanks for the info on xdg-utils, very handy.
skidoo: You’re right. As noted above, it isn’t a url but a txt/html file.
That github issue looks exactly on point. I just started messing with anaconda, so I’m sure I’ll be doing a lot of reading/tweaking with that setup guide.
Only two things are infinite. The universe and my ignorance of Linux.
Thanks again,
