v0.15.2

Running Firefox as root in a regular user's session is not supported. ($XAUTHORITY is /home/user1/.Xauthority which is owned by user1.)

I think it is trying to open default borwser but it is not opening also i have tried to install it in termux there also its not working
cann't we use 'xdg-open' there.

Thanks. I will look into this. You can use this patch in the meantime to have the application display the link it's trying to visit:

You can copy the link and paste it into any browser.

@hakxcore the patch I mentioned above it now released, so you can upgrade to get the url from the screen and paste it manually.

@hakxcore how are you executing the program? Are you using sudo?
