Bug Description
Hi,
xdg-open in xdg-utils is provided to allow apps to open a URL
in their preferred browser. Please consider using this than
hardcoding firefox.
Thanks,
James

Hi,
I have just looked at the code and see that it isn't just
firefox that is tried.
You may find that xdg-open is easier to use and works
in more cases, but I'm not sure.
Please feel free to close this if you are happy with what
you have already.
Thanks,
James
