I've applied the fix in this page and now it works:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/540939/xdg-open-only-opens-a-new-tab-
in-a-new-chromium-window-despite-passing-it-a-url

Summary: there is some problem with the file ~/.local/share/applications
/chromium-browser.desktop that breaks the exec command. Maybe one of my
installed packages modified it incorrectly (the new pepper flash plugin?
I have it installed too)

Title:
  URL doesn't open from other application in chromium-browser

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  How to generate:

  Set chromium-browser as default browser. Now open skype (an example
  application, you can use other).  Click on any web link in skpye. A
  new chromium-browser will open with nothing in address bar.
  (Situation: someone send me a link (say youtube link), when i click on
  that chromium-browser open with blank address bar. No web link loaded)

  Expected:
  Open new chromium-browser window with link if no browser instance is running otherwise in new tab. 

  Note: If you click on any link in chromium-browser or in chromium-
  browser webapp than it works fine.
