Yes, it works from Calibre. If click in the story id in Calibre the page of the story is opened in the Browser. It works with the default browser or choosing an specific browser from the setting "openers_by_scheme".

I did not recall correctly.
FFF imports
webbrowser from python's standard lib and calls open(). Calibre jumps through a bunch of Qt hoops to call QDesktopServices.openUrl(qurl) OR runs a subprocess to call CLI program xdg-open.
I assume that something in your OS update either broke or 'secured' python's webbrowser as called from FFF.
Are you sufficiently python savvy to try testing it with a basic script? Or investigating if it's a per-program security thing?
Anyone else see this? I'm not real thrilled with the idea of adding a whole subprocess forking, but I could consider it if this is going to be a common problem.
