keeps asking me for default browser?

Does this happen to anyone else? It seems like it's pretty common when I click a web link inside of an app that it asks me which browser I want to open it in (I have Lastpass and Chrome installed) ... I click Chrome and choose "Always" but it hasn't stopped it from querying.

Is the "what browser do I open this link in" default app specific now? (i.e. Links opened in Facebook can default to Chrome, but links opened in Twitter can default to another browser)

A link pressed in a browser should open in that browser. A link opened somewhere else (an email, a text, Facebook, Twitter) should open in the default browser.

Install Default App Manager Lite and see if the phone thinks it has a default browser. (From the few posts we've had about this, it seems to be a bug in 5.0 - choosing a default browser Always is the same as choosing it Just Once - it doesn't stick.)
