Summary: Source package xchat refers to a non-free browser in its URL handler section. This non-free browser is not even in the Ubuntu repositories (free & non-free) so we should not be using it as a URL handler. A URL-handler for an appropriate free software browser was expected.
Install the install xchat package
Open xchat
Connect to any network (e.g. #trisquel on freenode)
Navigate to settings --> advanced --> URL Handlers
Option menu will display a URL Handler for a non-free browser.
