I'm running Linux Mint and installed Firefox Developer Edition "manually" by downloading the package from the official website and then unzipping it to /opt/ and creating a .desktop file at ~/.local/share/applications/firefox_dev.desktop, in order to get a launcher icon.

Basically followed the instructions found here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/548003/how-do-i-install-the-firefox-developer-edition.

Everything is working smoothly except for one tiny detail. If I use FFDev as my default browser, and click an external link, (ex. from a chat application like Slack/Discord/Steam) it will open up a new browser window, but not send me to that link.

Any
