Subject: Can't set chrome as default browser in Mac 8.5.1
Feedback Type: Problem
Product Area: Notes Client
Technical Area: Functionality
Platform: Mac OS X
Release: 8.5.1
Reproducible: Always

I'm running 8.5.1FP3 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. In Notes preferences I have it set to "use the browser I have set as default for this operating system", which is Chrome, but whenever i click on a link inside of Notes, it loads FireFox.

Here's the odd part. If I change my Mac's default browser to Safari, and click on a link in Notes, Notes loads Safari. If I change it back to FireFox, and click on a link in Notes, Notes loads FireFox. But if I then set the default browser to Chrome, and click on a link in Notes, it loads FireFox.

Essentially Notes will load my previous default browser (FireFox or Safari) when I have Chrome set as the default browser and I click on a link in Notes.

I assume this is some sort of bug, is there a fix?
