If you install XFCE and you want to start the webbrowser via the bottom
line or the Applications menu, you get a dialog "Choose Preferred
Application" instead of a launching web browser.
That's because no web browser is installed with XFCE.

I think its because you havent choosen a preferred browser, so I think
xfce behavior is correct here.
If the user wants a webbrowser he needs to install one, I dont think
there is anything xfce could do here.

Hello, Xfce project doesn't have a web browser (i think it did had
midori years ago, but it seems abandoned), so I think it's reasonable to
leave the choice to users.
Closing, thanks.
