What happens if you run `qvm-open-in-vm work https://qubes-os.org` in tbirdVM and when you run xdg-open https://qubes-os.org in the work VM (without the quotes)? I actually just finished a how-to on setting default applications and qvm-open-in-(d)vm: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-doc/pull/379/files?short_path=83ca4e2#diff-83ca4e28de9bcee331783522a52c2bd0 (Any comments would be appreciated.) -- ubestemt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
