In my Alpine config I have URL-viewer set to /usr/bin/firefox
in order to be able to click a link in an e-mail message and
have it opened in Firefox in an external window.
This used to work, but now it doesn't.
What happens now is that I'm asked to accept a cookie, I answer
Y, and then this repeats a few times. Then finally I get the
message that the app will not work unless I install Javascript,
and then nothing more happens.
I have tried a few times, and also used the ? option while
accepting cookies. According to the ? option, the app asking
for repeated cookie acceptance is Lynx. And yes, it does look
like a vague memory I have a few decades back of the Lynx web
browser.
So how can I make Firefox work as before, without being asked
about cookies, and without Javascript, and without Lynx?
Is there a way to unlynx Alpine?
