This is a bug in fish 1.21.4, fish thinks the htmlview command is
avaialble even though it isn't. htmlview is a browser wrapper that
automatically starts your preferred browser. When unavalibale fish
should instead try e.g. x-www-browser (which is another browser
wrapper just like htmlview, and one I think is more commnly supported
on Debian), firefox, mozilla, etc..

This is fixed in fish 1.21.5, unfortunatly that version has a new,
silly bug, so I don't know if the Debian maintainer (James Vega) will
release that one or wait for 1.21.6, which will be released today or
tomorrow.

A quick fix is to replace /usr/share/fish/functions/type.fish with this file:
