Default Opening links with chromium

Hey, to all you nice people I have a problem. I am running Lubuntu linux distro. I have chromium and firefox installed. I'm trying to make JDownloader use chromium as a browser to open links, but so far had no success. Here's what I tried.

In the browser configuration tab i can only select default and firefox. Strangely both open firefox. So I choose to use custom browser. I entered /usr/bin/chromium-browser as a path and %url pressed ENTER in paramater list so i had new row after %url (couldn't work without it at all).

So with settings described above, I get this behavior: when chromium is running, opening some link from JDownloader results in opening a new tab with appropriate url. That is good. But if it's not running, then opening link from jdownloader results in chromium breafly appearing and closing quickly. Sometimes it appears that noting has happened at all. Maybe I should note that in this second case, when chromium is started manually, it shows all the opened tabs except those when it is breafly opened than closed.

Log for both chromium behaviors is basically the same:
Code:
------------------------  Thread: 37  -----------------------
37 22.5.11. 13.19.47 - INFO [java_downloader] -> Execute: /usr/bin/chromium-browser http://jdownloader.org  in null
37 22.5.11. 13.19.48 - FINER [java_downloader] -> Process returned
37 22.5.11. 13.19.48 - FINER [java_downloader] -> sbo idle - interrupt
37 22.5.11. 13.19.48 - FINER [java_downloader] -> sbe idle - interrupt
37 22.5.11. 13.19.48 - FINER [java_downloader] -> STream observer closed
My thoughts: Links in other applications open in chromium, so I guess it is correctly set as default browser. Here is output from console:

Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
There are 2 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).

  Selection    Path                       Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/chromium-browser   40        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/chromium-browser   40        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/firefox                     40        manual mode
Also I found this execution command in my application menu /usr/bin/chromium-browser %U . Didn't find out what does %U do, because starting chromium with or without it seems the same.

I'm hopping I provided enough information and that you can help me.

EDIT: OK, I tried now using firefox as custom browser, and the behavior is the same as with chromium. There is definitely a bug in JDownloader
