Rhythmbox and last.fm... waiting to authorize?

In past uses with Rhythmbox, lastfm will alert me to the fact that it needs to be authorized... and then it opens a window to do so.

The Rhythmbox I seem to have installed via arch's repositories here doesn't alert me to anything, it just says... waiting to authorize yet doesn't open up any sort of area in which to do so.

Is there some sort of bug involved here? I've installed all of the required libraries to run Rhythmbox with as per the documentation on the program provided in the wikia and it seems like it would work fine... if only I could authorize it.

do you have a default browser set up?

xdg-settings get default-web-browser

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I had to change the default browser in Gnome via gconf at keys:
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http(s)

I guess when firefox updated it left old paths there to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0
