The warnings about unrecognized options are misleading but can be
safely ignored (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/qtubuntu/+bug/1244616).

This one is https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+bug/1377885,

safely ignored. Thanks for reporting!

That’s unexpected, there hasn’t been any important changes in the URL

attach your webapp’s configuration, together with detailed steps to
reproduce the issue?

Thanks,
