Magnet Link default program
-
Not sure if this is a Linux question or a browser question, but...
Up until this morning, when I clicked on a magnet link, it opened qbittorent, suddenly it is opening Transmission?!?!
I have not made any changes that I'm aware of. If this is a browser settings issue, could someone tell me what to do. If this is a Linux question, I'll post on the Mint forum.

OK, thanks, so that means it is something I will have to set in Cinnamon.

Not sure what to do now. I posted the question on the Linux Mint forum and the only answer I got was this:
It depend on which browser you are using. In Firefox, just assign them to qbittorrent in the preferences/applications. In Chrome and Chromium they open with what ever is associated by the system. I don't know if there is an easy way to do that for magnet (it is not a file) but if you uninstall transmission (cinnamon default), it will revert back to qbittorrent or you will be ask for it.
To dLeon: I cannot find any setting for a MIME handler, so I'm not sure how to check it. Any help would be appreciated.

dLeon:
Thank you for such an effort to help me. Right now things have become so busy I don't have time to do this. I'm going to go through your suggestions this weekend. I will post the results.
