Bug Description

Using Browser on Unity7/ Xenial, if I open URLs from other apps I get new windows with only the respective URL. There's no setting for that.

webbrowser-app (0.23+16.04.20160122-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Automatically focus the address bar when opening a new tab in wide
    mode (instead of inferring a "desktop" form factor). This is not
    exactly the correct fix (which would require the QInputInfo API),
    but is better than the current situation anyway. (LP: #1533317)
  * Ensure that only one instance of the app is running. (LP: #1535199)
  * Fix failing autopilot test. With recent changes in the UITK, swiping
    a non-swipeable item to the right activates it. (LP: #1534139)
  * Fix undefined reference when dragging a bookmark from one folder to
    another one.
  * Show the share action if Ubuntu.Content is available, regardless of
    the form factor.
