Opening downloaded ICA files forces Firefox to open

stevensonmt

Ideally I would like ICA files (Citrix apps) to open automatically using WFICA. The mimetype is associated with the WFICA Citrix Receiver Engine. When I download an ICA file, the download dialog opens and I select open. This then opens Firefox to a blank tab, which then opens the Citrix Receiver Engine. I can't see any setting to change this behavior.

@stevensonmt A file which can not be opened in Vivaldi will be opened by Linux's xdg-open which know the program to open such mime type.

Check in bash/shell/terminal:
xdg-mime query default application/x-ica

//edit:
Ah, i found this:

xdg-mime default wfica.desktop application/x-ica

The query command returns
citrix-wfica.desktop
And that desktop file looks like

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Citrix ICA client
Comment="Launch Citrix applications from .ica files"
Categories=Network;
Exec=/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica
Terminal=false
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
MimeType=application/x-ica;

@stevensonmt Sorry, thats all i could do at this moment, i do not use Citrix.

@stevensonmt
I think, the .desktop file is only for APP (wfica) to make it appear in the desktop menu. .ica needs to be opened by wfica. So you still need to think about how to set the mime.
