When set as default browser on Linux in standard mode, links don't open correctly
@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:
