"No web browser found" when clicking on "Find projects at" links under Arch LInux

[dmp1ce]

I'm using the AUR package to install Lighthouse on Arch Linux. When the app is running and I click on the "Find projects at lightlist" I get the following error. The same happens when I click the "Find projects at Reddit" link.

The error occurs on the terminal. Nothing happens on the app itself when I click the link.

java.lang.Exception: No web browser found

[mikehearn]

It's looking for one of the following programs on the path:

{"google-chrome", "firefox", "opera", "konqueror", "mozilla"}

Presumably you don't have any executables with these names installed. So do you actually have a web browser?

[dmp1ce]

I only have "chromium" installed and none of the other browsers you listed. So, that is probably the problem. Chromium is the default browser on Antergos.

Perhaps the URL could be passed to xdg-open for users with unusual web browsers.
