Links are opened in qutebrowser AND Firefox #123

Somehow links from urlscan are always opened in qutebrowser AND Firefox (I also have Chromium installed, which does not open).

Here's what I could find:

In both cases (Firefox and qutebrowser) the url is opened using the Web Browser method.

xdg-open "URL" opens the URL in qutebrowser python -m webbrowser "URL" opens the URL in qutebrowser urlscan -r "xdg-open {}" opens the URL in qutebrowser AND Firefox

Setting the BROWSER environment variable doesn't seem to have any effect (still opened in both browsers), that's why this workaround also doesn't work: https://github.com/firecat53/urlscan/issues/113

Am I doing something wrong here?

Huh. Setting $BROWSER to qutebrowser eventually did end up doing the trick here.

Glad you got it sorted! Sometimes people have their xdg settings messed up or use a long forgotten script to open their browser, both of which cause issues from time to time :)
