While I'm a programmer, I never used python.

For whatever is worth, running this in the command line open the browser:

python3 -m webbrowser -t "https://www.python.org"

But Calibre comes with it's own python installed, right?

I also tried to run the following python script with calibre-debug to see what happens:

import webbrowser

url="https://www.python.org"

print('Trying opening this url: '+url)
webbrowser.open(url)

The browser isn't opened, only the print is shown. But I don't know if the issue here is what it's happening with FFF, or something that is wrong in my script.

- Call Calibre's safe_open_url for open_pages_in_browser


Perfect--that's exactly the sort of testing I meant.

This shows that it's something to do with running from Calibre's python, not python in general or FFF specifically.

Give this test version a try.

I blame general 'I'm tired' reasons for not realizing yesterday that I don't need to duplicate Calibre's code, I can just call it.

Now it's working perfectly. Actually it works even better than before the bug because now I can use a different browser to open the pages than the default of the OS. By choosing the browser that Calibre use in the settings, that it's used to open the pages by FFF. I preffer to have a browser that I only use for FFF

It can happen to the best of us. Again, thanks for your help and fast response
