SundeeM. Thanks for the update. Good thing they changed that, this whole situation was rather silly to begin with.

Hi
These workarounds are no longer required with the latest release version of AIR(1.5.3)
Everything from default browsers to default email clients is correctly detected by AIR

Thanks for posting this. I don’t know how what that first person said is easier. Creating a script is really easy and it can be save anywhere and easily removed. Safer than changing /opt/bin files.
