JDownloader: cannot execute web browser

[Tanath]

When I get a manual captcha and click 'open in web browser' I get an I/O error.

This is expected behaviour.

Is there a workaround? You can't copy & paste a URL in this case, so I'm forced to not use firejail.

[rusty-snake]

I'm not sure if its work:echo "include chromium.profile" >> ~/.config/firejail/JDownloader.local

Note that this will reduce the security.

You might also be able to run from terminal, it might log the URL there too.

I don't know about chrome, but firefox detects when it's already running, so one way to get around this is to leave firefox running (ideally in its own sandbox) before starting jdownloader. That way, when it goes to open firefox (which you can set according to this), firefox will already be open and you'll be able to solve it.

@Tanath Did any of the suggestions work?

[Tanath]

@chiraag-nataraj Unfortunately not. Still not using firejail with JDownloader.

[rusty-snake]

Try creating ~/.config/firejail/JDownloader.profile:

noblacklist ${HOME}/.jd

# Allow java (blacklisted by disable-devel.inc)
include allow-java.inc

mkdir ${HOME}/.jd
whitelist ${HOME}/.jd

include chromium.profile

Make sure, firejail is using your right profile. Mine was always startet through the desktop file and was using the default profile. Test it on your shell.

Apologies for the delay. The solution offered by @rusty-snake here works for me:
