[minor bug]links are not working

See original GitHub issue

Hello

In the app, the links do not open a browser window. I click on them but nothing happens. I am talking about the links in the footer as well as the links to github and twitter after flashing.

Do you think it would be useful if I take the time and try to fix this myself?

Etcher version: 1.0.0
Operating system and architecture: linux fedora 23, 64bits
Image flashed: ubuntu
Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools? I do see this log which looks ok to me Open external link ({"url":"https://github.com/resin-io/etcher"})

The Electron function electron.shell.openExternal that we use in Etcher seems to use xdg-open so make sure that xdg-open 'http://google.com/' in a terminal, for example, opens Google in a new tab in your browser. If it doesn’t, you might have to use update-alternatives to configure it to do so.

Ok, I do not see why but it does not make the software impossible to use so…

If there is someting easy I can do in a few hours, let me know
