Wireshark does not open URLs in GET requests anymore

Since a few days my Wireshark does not seem to open URL anymore, when I double click them in the corresponding section in the GET request packet. Instead, it gets copied to the clipboard. As I have to open a lot of URL per day, this is quite annoying. Does anyone know a fix for this?

• OS: Debian Bullseye amd64
• Package: https://packages.debian.org/source/testing/wireshark

Solution 1:

The double-click was ruled out as a security risk.

Read the article Pwning the pen tester: Malicious Wireshark packet capture file risk revealed:

Maliciously constructed Wireshark packet capture files might be used to distribute malware, providing recipients can be tricked into double clicking file URL fields.

Variants of the same attack could potentially be thrown against users of the popular network security tool, widely used by security analysts and penetration testers, whether they use Windows or Xubuntu Linux-based systems.

This is by design, and probably cannot be undone. The only possibility I can see is to use an older Wireshark version that does not yet have this feature.
