--- Comment #5 from Rudolf-Walter Kiss-Szakacs <rudolf.wg at gmail.com> ---
A possible workaround that reduces the annoyance factor until this is fixed is
to set the wine browser to a no-op. This will obviously also prevent you from
opening links in Skype (you'll have to copy-paste links to your browser). It
will also prevent opening links from any other app in the same wine prefix.

Steps:
* Open the wine regedit
* Create key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineBrowser"
* In it, create the string "Browsers" with a value of "true" (your no-op
command)
* Append " "%1"" to the value in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command"
