Panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [Windows 10]

[niutech]

When I run browsh_1.2.2_windows_amd64.exe on Windows 10 x64, Firefox opens, but the program crashes with:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xc0000005 code=0x0 addr=0x8 pc=0x4b4cdd]
goroutine 6 [running]:
os.(*Process).signal(0x0, 0x7cd560, 0x91c3c8, 0xc04229a070, 0x0)

This is a duplicate of #38

[niutech]

Is it really #38 In-browser help?

[mholt]

This is definitely NOT a duplicate of #38. (Maybe a typo?) I'm getting the error too on Fedora, with the same version.

It also leaves headless Firefox running in the background.

Looking forward to trying this though. :)

I'm getting the same problem on both Debian and Fedora.

Why is there /home/travis/ when it is run on Windows?

[tombh]

OMG! I'm so sorry. I meant #32!

[mholt]

Ah! :) That's more like it, thanks.
