Bug ID: 51967
           Summary: Apps no longer open URLs.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.20
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

I use wine to run a DoubleDummy windows program.

This can downloads results from a website and does so by "opening" a URL.

By running strace (and forcing in older wine versions) I can see that:

v6.8 uses /usr/bin/xdg-open (which in turn uses kde-open5) to open the URL and
this works.

v6.20 is using /usr/bin/open, which knows nothing about URLs and hence fails.
