Ok that worked. Mullvad browser is installed. Thanks guys.

I have a problem.
I open a link in dom0 (e.g. Learn more on fullscreen warning in Qubes OS Global Config) and it opens Mullvad Browser in a dispvm for only a few seconds, (it closes by itself).

I installed Mullvad Browser in debian-13-xfce and set it as default using Settings Manager → Default Applications, but the link did not open Mullvad
I then set it as default in default-dvm and the link did open Mullvad.
xdg settings set default-web-browser mullvad-browser.desktop

I’ve searched for all mullvad-browser.desktop files in debian-13-xfce and default-dvm, none of them contain --detach
sudo find / -name mullvad-browser.desktop

I don’t have Fedora qubes.

Whitout clicking on a link, if you start mullvad-browser directly in a disposable, is it working?

It might be related to a second desktop entry (start-mullvad-browser). It would be better to use something like:

grep -r -- "--detach" /usr

(And check /home)

This guide worked perfectly for me, but Mullvad has now adopted the extrepo package and made the process even easier and safer.

**reposted from the Mullvad VPN thread
For Debian templates, the Mullvad repo is now available with extrepo. After updating the template (or standalone), adding the repo and vpn app is as simple as:

sudo apt-get install extrepo
sudo https_proxy=http://localhost:8082 extrepo enable mullvad
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mullvad-vpn

add to that:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mullvad-browser

Yes, in both gui and command line.
qvm-run --dispvm=default-dvm --service -- qubes.StartApp+mullvad-browser

Checked both /usr and /home, one relevant entry found at /usr/lib/mullvad-browser/start-mullvad-browser

I’m not sure what I should change in it.

I had this problem and I think that you must ensure that every related mime associations uses mulvad-browser and not the default web browser (check the mimeapps.list files).

I will check the content of /usr/lib/mullvad-browser/start-mullvad-browser but I was looking for a .desktop entry.
