Dear Maintainer,

Wireshark crashes for me if I do the following in the GUI:

1. Menu → Help → About Wireshark
2. Tab "Folders"
3. in the "Personal Configuration" row, double-click on the "Folder"
   column

After a few seconds, wireshark crashes with the following error
messages:

(wireshark:22668): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Failed to execute child process "file:///home/abe/.wireshark/" (No such file or directory)

[1]  + 22668 segmentation fault (core dumped)  wireshark

Hi,

For some reason the "Web browser command" was set to " %s" (leading
blank). Setting it to e.g. "x-www-browser %s" avoids the crash.
