I can't reproduce this issue on buster with Google Chrome as the default browser set in GNOME preferences.
For opening any links Smuxi relies on Mono's System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() implementation which then uses /usr/bin/xdg-open and (others). From your strace it seems to pick xdg-open as it is executable which is expected for GNOME desktop environments. Why it throws the exception, is not clear.... What happens if you run this from a terminal: /usr/bin/xdg-open ' https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESpweBhXgAAefGF?format=jpg&name=small' echo $? Usually the xdg-open implementation just forks and returns 0. but the output might help to understand why Mono thinks there was a problem.
