Cannot open Dropbox website through Linux client
Similarly to the issue described here, on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 with the dropbox client recently installed, by the time I press the button on the app to say "Open the Dropbox site", the browser opens ...
Uninstalling the snap version (sudo snap remove firefox) and installing the traditional version via `sudo apt-get install firefox` resolved the problem.
The xdg-mime query default text/html now returns the expected firefox.desktop which you Здравко initially flagged as suspicious.
What a pain 🙂
andreamoro, everything seems almost normal. The only thing I can't understand is the desktop file name:

By default Firefox desktop file looks "firefox.desktop" (without name doubling and additional underbar). Have you created some extra desktop file with custom settings or so? 🤔
You can try investigate further by try save some web page locally (doesn't matter what exactly - just for check). Find out the place of main HTML file (typically carries the page title as file name). Execute following in terminal:
xdg-open file:/<path/to/your/just/downloaded.html>
Where <path/to/your/just/downloaded.html> is path to downloaded page main file (as the pseudo path "suggests" 😉). What's going on? 🧐 Is the downloaded page opening or not?
By the way... Post also the result from:
grep text/html= /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
Will try on my return, but Firefox is the instance I found when Ubuntu 21.04 completed the installation process, so can't really say anything on that
