Using irssi IRC client in urxvt I am no longer able to launch a link from the irssi app into the chromium browser. Apparently the following lines are required in .Xdefaults to do so:
urxvt*perl-lib: /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/
urxvt*perl-ext-common: default,matcher
urxvt*matcher.button: 1
urxvt*urlLauncher: /usr/bin/chromium
However, those lines still do not allow me to open a URL with a mouse click in irssi. Any ideas appreciated.

Philosophy is looking for a black cat in a dark room. Metaphysics is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there. Religion is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there and shouting "I found it!". Science is looking for a black cat in a dark room with a flashlight.

Change your urlLauncher command to this:
URxvt.url-select.launcher:

Where are you getting that, bohoomil?
url-launcher: string
Specifies the program to be started with a URL argument. Used by the "selection-popup" and "matcher" perl extensions.
In context, that becomes:
URxvt.perl-ext: default,matcher
URxvt.url-launcher: firefox
URxvt.matcher.button: 1

bohoomil is using urxvt-perls, which was also updated after the change to Rxvt-unicode...

Thanks for making this thread. I recently noticed this (all urls from urxvt) stopped working for me, but as I hadn't yet put in any time to research why I didn't want to start a thread. But the change in tomk's excerpt did the trick. (urlLauncher became url-launcher).
Edit: also, for the OP, I think the URxvt class name is case sensitive.
