    Links Not Opening from External Application

    When i click links from my IRC client, it opens Chromium, but doesnt open the link. In fact, it opens a whole new separate Chromium window instead of opening up a new tab with the link

    Links from outside applications don't open in Chromium. I click them from the application(such as IRC clinet), and it opens a new Chromium window, but does not open the URL. If i repeat the clicking, it will continue opening new blank Chromium windows.

    I was able to fix this with
    Code:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Version=1.0
    Name=Chromium
    Exec=/usr/bin/chromium-browser %U
    StartupNotify=false
    StartupWMClass=chromium-browser
    Terminal=false
    Icon=chromium-browser
    Type=Application
    Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
    MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;image/webp;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;
