Default Browser for certain application
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I use google chrome browser for private stuff, but on the same machine I have my work toolset. For work things I use Firefox, and I would be really happy If I could assign it as default for HipChat (my work communicator app).

you can make a launcher to open it in firefox.
Open your favorite text editor. type the following lines:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Name=HipChat
Comment=Work Chat
GenericName=HipChat
X-GNOME-FullName=HipChat
Exec=/usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr www.hipchat.com/sign_in
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox-esr
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;
StartupWMClass=Firefox-esr
StartupNotify=true
Save the file as HipChat.desktop. From the file manager, right click on the file and set as executable.You should now have a working launcher that opens HipChat in Firefox. To have it appear in your menu, open a terminal navigate to where your file is and type:
sudo cp hipchat.desktop /usr/share/applications
NOTE: if you are not using ESR, or if it is located in a different folder on your system, edit the references to firefox as is needed.

check the settings for Hip Chat, if it doesn't have a browser selection, then you'd have to set the system default to firefox. Note about using the web based app: firefox will open links in firefox.
