I do not see this issue on Version 1.95.0 OS: Windows 10

But the alert indicates that Firefox crashed so how is this related to VS Code?

rdong8 commented 3 days ago

It only happens to VS Code, and only since the latest update to the Snap. I can open browser links from any other application (ie. clicking from telegram or signal).

bpasero commented 3 days ago

Does it help if you configure the browser via the workbench.externalBrowser setting?

rdong8 commented 3 days ago

Setting it to firefox (accessible in $PATH on my system) causes links to not do anything at all.

Please see if you can find any logged output that could help us find the source of the issue:

run code --verbose from the command line
reproduce the issue
attach the log files you find from running the command "Open Logs Folder"

Thanks!

I do not see an obvious error logged, I would try to follow up with Firefox to see if there is a way to get more info why FF crashes.

Can I know what command is being run when I click on a link in VS Code?

We use an Electron API: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/shell#shellopenexternalurl-options
