Fedora Linux 37 Workstation Edition
Mullvad Browser
When I select a link in another application, (email or Bitwarden for example) Mullvad Browser opens my browser home page, not the link address page.
I have no other browsers installed.
It looks like the app installed the desktop file for your user (or you copied it yourself). This file /home/rosie/.local/share/applications/start-mullvad-browser.desktop is the one that shows up in your GUI launcher and takes precedence over other files, so any changes should be made to this file.
As I guessed, it does not handle URLs. A normal browser’s Exec key would look like this (Firefox for example):
Now, the problem is this Mullvad Browser’s Exec key is somewhat complicated, so I don’t think you can just add a %u or %U somewhere. It points to a program /usr/lib64/mullvad-browser/Browser/start-mullvad-browser that probably handles options and does other things like set up the browser before starting it.
Based on this, it’s clearly intentional that it doesn’t handle URLs from other apps.
If you want to try anyway, you would need to look at the start-mullvad-browser program (hopefully it’s a shell script) and figure out what it does, and whether you can pass a URL to it. Otherwise I suggest you contact Mullvad by opening an issue here or emailing them.
Thank you so much for doing the work on laying out the install so nicely.
Mullvad Linux install was more a manual affair and was maybe where I could have messed up - if this worked for you am hoping it will for me too.
I wont be at this machine again for a week bit will let you know then.
