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.

New Test Version Posted

- 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.
