NFC default action seems not to work

[redsquare50]

Using Samsung S5 Mini with XPrivacy Pro. When scanning an NFC tag which contains a URL NDEF it should immediately open that URL in the browser but it does not. If I disable XPrivacy it works.

I have a hunch this is the same issue as issue: 1759

If you need log cat entries, please let me know the command line to use as I am not that familiar with log cat. I have got this so far when scanning the tag:

XPrivacy does nothing if there are no restrictions are being applied, so I am quite sure this is caused by a restriction. There is a FAQ about finding "bad" restrictions, which might be helpful.

You are absolutely right it was a bad restriction I had made (now found and fixed). For anyone else facing a similar issue - the problem was that I had restricted NFC from the default browser (firefox in this case) - Thank you so much for your help and a great tool.
