  • @boklm It turns out our fix from #314 (closed) is incomplete.

    While the browser is listed in the default browser lists. It doesn't open correctly when clicking on a external link from another applications (at least in some circumstances).

    This is because in the /usr/share/applications/mullvad-browser.desktop file, for the entry Exec, there should be an additional %U parameter to forward correctly the clicked link.

    The full desktop file would read as follow:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0
    Type=Application
    Name=Mullvad Browser
    GenericName=Web Browser
    Comment=Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser designed to minimize tracking and fingerprinting.
    Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
    Exec=/usr/lib/mullvad-browser/start-mullvad-browser --detach %U
    Icon=mullvad-browser
    StartupWMClass=Mullvad Browser
    MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;
    Terminal=false
