1. Set Firefox as default browser 2. Make sure Firefox is not running 3. Make sure "Ctrl-Click required to follow hyperlinks" is enabled (Tools->Options->LibreOffice->Security->Options) 4. Ctrl+Click any hyperlink in Writer e.g. Expected: Firefox is opened in foreground. Actual: Firefox is opened in background Weird thing: If the option "Ctrl-Click required to follow hyperlinks" is OFF, this bug does not appear.
