This bug is not a straw bug. It is either a bug in one of straw's
dependencies or a packaging bug. Kindly report it to the
appropriate package/maintainer.

to the OP,

Does this bug still occur in 0.19?

Please note that strictly speaking, any problems with opening articles in a browser are problems with either a) gnome libraries b) your configuration. All Straw does is it invoke's gnome's url_show function (well, something like that) which does what you have configured it to do.

Of course, the case could be made that Straw needs its own browser configuration (it's true Straw probably launches the browser a whole lot more often that many other programs,) but I doubt it. That's what the desktop configuration is for. Desktop preferences -> Advanced -> Preferred applications, IIRC; I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. Jan, I'm not at all sure I'll accept a new feature like that :-)

We should probably mention this in the README.

Need more info:

1. Distro? version?
2. straw version?

FWIW, leaving Mozilla open then clicking a link seems fine here(Mozilla opens a new window then loads the link). I'm using straw latest CVS and Debian sid.

This is actually in my TODO. It will probably be in 0.20 or 0.21.
