What does it say in your registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command ?

I had some related problems in past, but now it works for me. Can someone confirm it?

Confirmed for me, same with Klipfolio and start / run.

I have multiple Profiles if that affects anything.

It is the -requestPending parameter, remove that and it works fine.

I think this is a duplicate of Bug 395891. If so, can anyone dupe it?

Yes, this sounds exactly the same as bug 395891 (since the reporter mentions using the -p parameter to select a profile).
