Unable to link dropbox desktop client in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - "Invalid URL"
I've installed dropbox on my desktop from the .deb. On opening it, I click the drop down and firefox opens to a URL like
https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=4217fadb61d996a55bdec9ec41eb48de
And shows the error:
I've tried all sorts, from rebooting to re-installing dropbox and wiping any remnants in my home directory, I get this every time.
How do I get this working?
I solved it, it was spawning background firefox instances at the same time that were using the nonce before it was then opening it in the foreground and showing me the error. I killed the process spawning the background firefox instances and it suddenly worked

Same problem here with a fresh install of Linux Mint.
I use to install easily dropbox inlinux for the last years quite often so, PLEASE, dropbox technical service, tell us how to solve this issue. I'm a business customer.
Thanks
