      When I try to open a link from an external program, such as an irc-klient. I am getting to the about:blank most of the time. Some few times the link is openend, but that's rarely the case.

      Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
      Unity 7.2.2
      opera-developer 27.0.1676.0

        Additional info:

        cat $(locate opera | grep ".desktop")|grep "Exec"
        TryExec=/usr/bin/opera
        Exec=/usr/bin/opera %U
        TryExec=/usr/bin/opera
        Exec=/usr/bin/opera %U
        TryExec=opera-developer
        Exec=opera-developer %U
        Exec=opera-developer --new-window
        Exec=opera-developer --private

          Is Opera correctly set as your default browser? Look in opera://settings (Alt + P) under the Default browser section.
