@machinedgod Can you open hte home page if you open it via :open file:///...? If not you might try to use the file path direct as :open /.... For me both works. If both does not work for you - this might be of the guessed mime type of the file. And it might not work in case you file name contains spaces.

It works both with open command with file URL and direct path - and now that I've tried setting it again, it works normally :exploding_head:

Really sorry, really have no idea what changed! I've done few system updates and set up an external downloader (Persepolis). I haven't touched the homepage path or the config line inside my config file. I have tried removing the download manager just for test, and it still works :thinking: :shrug:

I'll close this. Thanks for the help.
