Oil crashes when opening bookmark #22

Thanks for sharing your work. Awesome tool.

I was using buku_run (also a great buku frontend) until I found your tool. I saw a comment you made about printing out a bookmarks 'title' in addition to the other info. Which is right along the lines of what I have been trying to do with buku_run as well. So when I saw you made this tool I had to give it a spin.

I am running into one issue I can not resolve. If I start my terminal, than start Oil I am able to successfully open bookmarks in my browser. But if I try to start Oil with a hotkey, or any other method that has Oil started in parallel with the terminal Oil will crash silently when trying to open a bookmark. The bookmark does not open and the entire terminal crashes. And I do not know where to start debugging it as its not logging any info. Or I cannot find any at least.

Any tips on how to get to the bottom of this would be appreciated. IMO Oil could be a perfect buku frontend with a few tweaks to how it displays output. Thanks for your time!

Fixed. The issue had something to do with using 'xdg-open' to launch the browser. Defining the browser rather than using xdg-open prevents the crash. Not sure why though.
