Firefox no longer detected as default browser, bookmarks not found

Please describe the problem: The latest CVS no longer finds my Firefox bookmarks or search engines. It seems to think Firefox is not my preferred browser: Importing /usr/local/gnomecvs/deskbar-applet/deskbar/handlers/epiphany.py The file Epiphany is not your preferred browser, not using it. decided to not load itself: /usr/local/gnomecvs/deskbar-applet/deskbar/handlers/epiphany.py Importing /usr/local/gnomecvs/deskbar-applet/deskbar/handlers/mozilla.py The file Mozilla or Firefox is not your preferred browser, not using it. decided to not load itself: /usr/local/gnomecvs/deskbar-applet/deskbar/handlers/mozilla.py Just to confirm, I brought up Desktop->Preferences->Preferred Applications and Firefox is indeed selected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Run CVS deskbar-applet 2. Search on any text 3. Actual results: Only launchers and folders show up in the list, no bookmarks or search engines. Expected results: All search types including Firefox bookmarks and search engines should pop up. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
Works perfectly here... Can you please check the values in GConf for "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http"? for command this should be "firefox %s" or "mozilla %s" and "enabled" checked.
The exact command is: /usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox/firefox "%s" Enabled is checked.
Created attachment 53268 [details] [review] assume there may be a file path to the default browser The browser detection was assuming simple a app name, not a full file path, this tries to do the reverse by checking the browser name at the end of the path.
Thanks very much, that fixed the problem here.
Fixed in CVS, i just try to find an occurence of 'firefox' or 'mozilla' in the handler, since here it is 'epiphany %s' which breaks with your patch.
