[Bug 1244884] Re: URL doesn't open from other application in chromium-browser
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.
