Wow, that is wild! Can you take a look at the developer tools console and see if you see any errors there that look related to this, like things about the "opener service" or similar? Also, could you glance at the logs in your output channels to see if there are any related errors? I would probably start with the "Window" channel. |

Can you find out what is your default browser in general, on this machine? You might check out this for help on how to do that: And then can you look up what Positron thinks its default browser is? The name of the setting is

I did some research on this today, and it doesn't seem like a common problem for people to have in VS Code (or Positron). If I were you, I might try different combinations of that I'm sorry I don't have more ideas of what to try! We'll keep an eye on whether this problem crops up for others. |

Hi @juliasilge, as you suggested, I completely removed the value for the browser, and everything started working again (opening Firefox...). Anyway, the issue is solved! If you need more tests from my side, ask, and it will be a pleasure to help. |
