Editor login using CE fails to launch browser

I am using the cross platform Editor on Ubuntu 24.04.

When the time comes to login using a community edition license, the initial license selection and restart of the Editor succeeds, but the login prompt is never shown in a browser.

The Log panel shows the message:

10:53:13.796  LinkLauncher Unable to open link 'https://sso.opentap.io/sso/authorize?client_id=<clientid-removed>&redirect_uri=http://localhost:5100&scope=openid&response_type=code&state=editorx'.

If I manually start Firefox before launching the Editor, then it succeeds.

I imagine this is some type of privilage problem with being able to launch the browser?

The odd thing is that sometimes, I don’t see the problem even though I don’t have a browser initially open.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks,

Wittrock
