    Default QDesktopServices::openUrl() slow

    hello,

    I'm using QDesktopServices:: openUrl() to open a URL in the users default browser (in XP). The function does works and opens the URL in a Firefox tab, but only after 10-15 seconds and during that time my Qt app is frozen.

    If I call this function a second time then the delay is only ~3 seconds so it seems Qt takes time determining what is the default browser.

    Does anyone have experience with this or know how to open the web browser faster?

    thanks,
    Richard
