Bug Description

When choose webbrowser-app as a source for content from the peer picker when the browser is not already running, it doesn't go into picking mode. However, if the browser is already running it switches nicely to picking mode. Maybe a race condition at startup missing the signal.

I’m seeing that on my krillin running the latest rc-proposed.
I’ve also seen this once on my desktop (unity7) where attaching a file in the telegram app would open the browser app (not previously running) on the downloads page, but not in picking mode.
