Are you using the Firefox snap installation?

4306?

mumbel commented 3 weeks ago

Ill double check if there are any logs related to ff or snap or if it reacts differently if ff is open, but I use chrome (.deb) as my default browser (and had chrome open)

mumbel commented 3 weeks ago

i think the snap were annoying me and looks like I uninstalled firefox. I have chromium-browser and google-chrome

Thanks, i'll give this a try on our various platforms.

I guess to fix this in your current installation you can go to Edit -> Tool Options -> Processor Manuals and change the Command String value. If that works we need to at the very least:

Ah thanks! I didn't know that was exposed like that

Hmmm, I tried Desktop.getDesktop().browse() and got java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The BROWSE action is not supported on the current platform on Ubuntu 24.04.

Ah, I guess I got lucky, on 22.04/jdk17 , thats all I had tried it on

Desktop.getDesktop().isSupported(Desktop.Action.BROWSE)
