            Bug ID: 105734
           Summary: xdg-open: prioritizes xdg_mime over $BROWSER
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

fix

Even if $BROWSER is set, still prioritizes `xdg-mime query default
x-scheme-handler/<schemetype>`.

Version: 
```
$ xdg-open --version
xdg-open 1.1.2
```

Steps to Reproduce:

```
$ BROWSER=echo xdg-open "https://bugs.freedesktop.org/"
```

Actual Behavior:
opens given URL in default web browser (mine is firefox)

Expected Behavior:
run $BROWSER <url>, in this case `echo https://bugs.freedesktop.org/`

if $BROWSER not found, fallback to xdg-mime defaults


I've found a hackish workaround for the time being:

```
$ DISPLAY="" BROWSER=echo xdg-open "https://bugs.freedesktop.org/"
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
```

I'm attaching a patch for the reordering of priorities to fix this

Thanks,
