[Bug 1835024] Re: Links triggered within most snap apps open in a separate browser session
I just wanted to comment that this is more than just Slack "owning" apps opened from inside Slack. It also messes up the audio/video setup inside the "owned" app. For example, if I launch snap Slack before Chrome and try to join a Zoom call from Slack, then my A/V options are limited only to the built-in devices in my laptop. This makes Zoom unusable for me, so I have to make sure I always launch Chrome before Slack. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835024 Title: Links triggered within most snap apps open in a separate browser session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1835024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1835024] Re: Links triggered within most snap apps open in a separate browser session
I was struggle with the same problem for a several weeks - all urls from snap apps were opened in different Firefox instances. Today I finally figured it out - Open some url from snap app. Navigate this instance to `about:profiles` . Make sure that setted as default profile is the same as the one when you open Firefox normally. In my case this was `default-release` profile. Once you set it as default you are done.

Recently we noticed that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to a custom value for both strictly and classically confined snap applications.

[Bug 1835024] Re: Links triggered within most snap apps open in a separate browser session
I could reproduce this problem using 18.04.3 live CD using Slack and
Atom. However, I don't think the problem is caused by snapd.
Slack, Skype and Atom are all classic snaps so they have full access to
the system. With Slack installed, clicking on the 'get started' link was
enough to get another Firefox window open. I collected the strace log. A
relevant piece is here:

Notice how slack attempts to run xdg-open (and does so successfully at
some point), then it proceeds to run `gio open ..`, and again does that
successfully, finally it just runs firefox with the URL. I believe this
is what triggers the new window to appear.
Another observation for Slack on 18.04 is that gnome-shell groups the
Firefox window *with* the slack one.
I tried diffing the environment between the inside and outside of snap:

However I could still spawn a separate Firefox window using a simple
`gio open http://`.
I've proceeded to install Chromium and set it to be my default browser.
At this point all the links and xdg-open calls I tried would open a new
tab in the current Chromium window.
Perhaps the problem is actually with Firefox and the method it uses to
find out whether there's antoher instance already running.
