xdg and Zoom

From William Unruh@2:250/1 to All on Wed Feb 2 22:33:21 2022

Everytime I open a zoom from my browser, I get the error message
xdg-settings: default-url-scheme-handler not implimented for xfce
I ignore this, and I then have to click on a another message
Open xdg-open
https://us06web.zoom.us wants to open this application.

What is this all about? How do I get rid of this message?

If it were I, I would try running xdg-open in my zoom script,

Running mga 8 xfce DE, zoom-5.9.3.1911-1.x86_64.rpm getting no message failure from zoom. Some basic sys info:
# type firefox
firefox is /usr/local/bin/firefox

# dir /usr/local/bin/firefox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jan 28 05:23 /usr/local/bin/firefox -> /local/opt/firefox-96.0.3/firefox

Then again
$ env | grep -i xdg
shows xdg variables set.

There is an xdg directory in .config, but no zoom in that directory.

Going to guess depends on DE, DM, and how you do session startup.

I installed Mga8 and all I got were the two
variables listed above.
There is an xdg directory in .config, but no zoom in that directory.

After a little research at https://www.google.com/advanced_search with
where are xdg variables set
in the first box. I wonder how you get started and what you are doing,

I have only xfce DE installed and system is set to boot run level 5 (gui login)
DM=lightdm
