I have recently upgraded to OS X 10.12. I have several webloc files on my desktop all showing the Safari icon. I have declared Vivaldi as my default browser in System Prefs as well as Vivaldi. I can do a standard right click, Open with and am able to select a bunch of different apps, one of which is Vivaldi. Safari, however, shows at the top of the list.
When I invoke the Get Info Pane, I see the Open with area greyed out and am unable to access the drop down list.
Back to Right click, Open with. If, instead of selecting Vivaldi, I choose other, Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi are all greyed out unless I enable All Applications. Then I can choose Vivaldi and click Always Open With, which results in a warning in the Choose Application window: "It's not known if this application can open [filename]." Pressing on, I click on Open.
The file opens. However, a system message: "You can't change the item [filename] to always open in the selected application. The item is either locked or damaged, or in a folder you don't have permission to modify (error code -10823)."
I have repaired permissions. I have dragged new URLs onto the desktop. I have run Onyx. I have checked for viruses, malware. I have rebooted, zapped PRAM, pulled the plug. (I don't have enough hair left to pull out, though if I did, I would by now surely be hairless!) I am out of ideas.
Help?
