Hi! I’m new to LibreWolf. Giving it a try as my default browser on Pop OS 21.04 (soon to be 21.10).

It’s all great so far. I understand that there are times when I’ll want to use “regular” Firefox for my work or for Netflix or whatever. But a lot of sites work great, even with the defaults.

Now, my question:

I installed from flatpak, and xdg-open (or just clicking urls from my email client) doesn’t work. Here’s the error message I get after maybe 5 seconds.

Is this because I’m using flatpak? Or is this an ubuntu thing? Or is it a LibreWolf settings thing?

I’d be willing to build from source if that would fix this behavior. But I thought I’d ask first.

    Nice, I’ll try that workaround!

    update: the workaround you linked worked swimmingly. Thank you!

    I understand the security implications, but they’re tolerable to me.
