Skype opens links in Firefox instead of default browser (Google Chrome) - Fedora 21 LXDE

Check file

~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

make sure that there is

[Default Applications]
text/html=google-chrome.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop
x-scheme-handler/about=google-chrome.desktop
x-scheme-handler/unknown=google-chrome.desktop


Also check that google chrome is installed and google-chrome.desktop is in /usr/share/applications/
