Zoom Workplace v6.1.1 does not honor Default Browser in Ubuntu

I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. This has been confirmed in chrome itself in Settings -> Default Browser.

 

When clicking any link in (say) Zoom Workplace 6.1.1 chat, Firefox is started.

 

This is problematic because I have to use Google Chrome for authentication as required by my company.

Okay, I stand corrected (somewhat).  To further clarify, I am on Kubuntu running KDE Plasma.

 

So you can have have the following set and Zoom will still launch Firefox:

$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
google-chrome.desktop

 

To change, in KDE Plasma Settings -> Applications -> "Default Applications" there is an additional "Web browser:" setting.

 

Once you change "Web browser:" to "Google Chrome", Zoom will default to using Chrome.

 

Problem solved.

 

Leaving here for future troubleshooting for others....
