Open Dashboard opens in Chromium instead of my default browser Firefox

[esijg]

When clicking "Open Dashboard" it opens up in Chromium rather than my default browser Firefox (on Xubuntu 18.04). Chromium also seems to hang right away.

Following is what I assume is the relevant terminal output when clicking "Open Dashboard"

Running xdg-open http://localhost:5600 straight from the terminal runs firefox without problems.

Yeah, this is because of PyInstaller bundling a custom version of xdg-open which mostly works but not always. We really need to migrate away from pyinstaller on aw-qt since it does not work reliably at all.

So the solution to this issue would to either rewrite it in some other language or package it with flatpak/snap.

This should have been fixed by #59 and will be available in the next release. Closing.
