Ever since I upgraded to Fedora 34, KoLmafia does not launch my default browser. At all. I call this post a Feature request instead of a Bug, though, because it's not KoLmafia's fault. It turns out there's a bug written against Red Hat, Cannot open default browser via GIO API since Fedora 34. The symptoms reported therein are exactly like mine. As a workaround, I can just launch my Chrome myself and point it to localhost:60080/game.php. I'd say the Feature I'm requesting is that KoLmafia try to get around this bug. I understand that since I have a workaround this won't be high priority, but thanks for any consideration.

(I was so glad to find that bug report, proving I wasn't mad. :) )
 
Have you really proven that you are not mad? Or just that you are not confused about this one thing? 😉
 
I jumped from fedora 33 to 35 in december and hit this problem as well, I reported it earlier here:

Bug - Relay browser not loading correctly on updated system

Hello, Unsure if it a real bug, but don't know where to ask. but have recently upgraded to Fedora Core 35/Firefox 95, and the relay browser is showing weird behavior. I hit the button or type "relay" and can see the OS trying to launch a Firefox process to open game.php as normal, but the page...
kolmafia.us

But am somewhat happy its a fedora bug not a kol one. If mafia could work around it that would be great, but there is a workaround (though its more annoying for lookup then the relay browser)
 
Followup: When I upgraded to Fedora 37, with Red Hat's OpenJDK version 17.0.7.0.7-4.fc37, Mafia is once more able to open Firefox windows. Hooray!
