By default, the original Jolla browser is launched. There is a workaround here:

Setting default browser

As far as I know, there is no way of setting the default Facebook, Twitter and Email apps that are launched from the notifications screen (swipe from bottom), nor is there a way to configure which documents app, dialler app, messages app, contacts app or calandar apps are launched when they are called.

I would like a general and extensible configuration method for setting the default app for handling all actions.

As pointed out in the comments below by @paulvt, Sailfish OS uses standard application files and the desktop base directories specification from FreeDesktop. So, I would like a general and extensible configuration method for setting Sailfish OS to also follow the default app for handling any action.FreeDesktop Desktop Application Autostart Specification.

Meanwhile, if anyone comes up an Answer on how to configure the default application for any of the other apps, we can collect them here.

As pointed out in the comments below by @paulvt, Sailfish OS uses the FreeDesktop standard application files and the desktop base directories specification. So, it would be natural for Sailfish OS to also follow the FreeDesktop FreeDesktop Association between MIME Applications specification.types and applications, in particular using the MIME-type field of the Desktop Entry Specification that allows applications to state which MIME types they can handle through the already in-use '.desktop'-files. For applications that support D-Bus, the standard covers that too.

Meanwhile, if anyone comes up an Answer a work-around on how to configure the default application for any of the other apps, something we can use while waiting for a real framework to be in place, we can collect them in Answers here.
