Control-Click does open the clicked browser, but not always a home page #206

From https://github.com/darktrojan/openwith/wiki#user-content-other-hints:

If you hold Ctrl while you click on a browser's icon, Open With will not pass the current page's URL to the new browser, and your home page in that browser will open. …

I tested the feature with QupZilla and Pale Moon. In each case:

The feature does seem to work as expected if the targeted browser is already running before the click.

I guess, it's desirable for the Control-Click with Open With to not override the normal launch behaviour of the targeted browser. Maybe the wiki text could be expanded a little.

Thanks
