There is xdg-open bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92440) which seems to be fixed in xdg-utils 1.1.0 rc2 and newer - it seems that Ubuntu 15.10 will have rc3. Older Ubuntu versions (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xdg-utils&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all) do have still rc1 with that xdg-open bug. Could not find any PPA either to upgrade xdg-utils in existing and yet supported releases. Would kindly ask any feedback whether there are any plans to backport fixed xdg-utils into older Ubuntu releases?

At least supported versions of Ubuntu (and its derivates), especially
supported LTS-versions, would be expected to be backported.
