Left-click on the NS icon opens file:///NetSurf:/Resources/en/welcome.html
whose links are entirely http rather then https, AFAICS. Is this what
you intend?

Also I notice that the !Fetch_NS app no longer works, complaining of
an incorrectly formatted filename at line 24. Probably not your
problem, but I struggle to see how it works and thus how the error
occurs. Help would be appreciated!
