"Fix Nexus Mods links in Chrome" for Steam Deck? (Linux)

[Yeseah]

So long story short I'm an idiot and screwed up by checking "Always allow __ to open links of this type in the associated app" on Google Chrome. In this case, I tried to download a mod collection through Vortex and associated the download link with the actual game itself, not Vortex. Now, whenever I try to install the mod collection, Chrome pushes the link to open up the Steam game instead of sending it to Vortex. I tried installing on Firefox but for some reason even when pointing the associated app to Vortex it doesn't do anything when I try to install the collection.

 

I tried using the "Fix Nexus Mods links in Chrome" option but since I'm using a Steam Deck, the Chrome preference file is not in the typical location where it would be on Windows and I received a message saying "Could not determine the chrome preferences file to fix. Please read the help text for this fix and apply it manually." I know where the Chrome preference file is on my device, but I have no idea how to apply to fix manually because I can't find the "help text" that the error message is referring to is.

I am on PC Ubuntu 22.04 with similar problem with chrome links. Except that I don't even know where the chrome preference files are.

Hi, did you resolve the issue?

[GwydionTheDon]

x-scheme-handler/nxm=vortex.desktop
x-scheme-handler/nxm-protocol=vortex.desktop

if it still doesn't work

run update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/

and reboot.

If anyone knows how to replicate this on Firefox, I'd be much obliged! Nothing I've tried works...

Its been some months, has anyone found a usable solution for this? I got Vortex installed and managing my game (Baldur's Gate 3), but now I'm stuck with this. I click the "Fix" button but it still comes back with the red "Failed to fix..." notification.
