[Bug]: Some links get opened in the text editor

[tab0r]

Current Behavior

When I run some commands that are supposed to open my browser, my text editor opens, sometimes with odd HTML content. The text editor then often freezes.

The most common one I'm using is gcloud auth login, which is supposed to direct the user to a browser UI to select/confirm accounts. With this one in particular, I have to return to the terminal and ctrl + click the link.

When commands produce URLs but don't auto-open, I can ctrl + click on them. Firefox then opens the URL with no issue.

On Ubuntu 24.04, installed very recently with minimal customization.

Expected Behavior

Either not opening the browser at all and just printing the URL, or actually open the browser.

Steps To Reproduce

1. setup Google Cloud CLI
2. run a command that should open a URL in the browser (like gcloud auth login)
