Description

When opening a MP3 file in Iceweasel, audacity is the preselected choice instead of totem.

Confirmed in Tails 0.12.1. Slightly annoying, but no big deal IMHO as Audacity’s UI, although a bit complex, displays a big green arrow to play the sound file.

This bug, as well as others of the same kind (e.g. the "PDF open with Gimp" one, that is now unreproducible by pure luck, and could come back any time soon if we don’t really fix that issue at its roots), happens with the instance of iceweasel started from the NetworkManager hook, but not with another iceweasel started by hand after closing the former.

This is explained by our NetworkManager hook not setting the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable to the GNOME -specific value that gnome-session does.

Details are explained in comment 26 on Debian bug #522998.

The bugfix/iceweasel_file_associations branch fixes that, will be delivered with Tails 0.14.

done in Tails 0.14.
