For example if I'd go Dolphins help -> About KDE and then click onto kde.org link, Firefox will open somewhat like file:///var/tmp/kdecache-{username}/krun/26005.0. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Dolphin 2. Help -> About KDE 3. Click www.kde.org link Actual Results: Firefox opens file:///var/tmp/kdecache-aectann/krun/26005.0. instead of the KDE site Expected Results: Firefox should open the KDE site. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Firefox simply gets the data what to open from the calling application. In this cases it gets a local file uri. Sounds like the caller should execute Firefox with an URL instead.
But I see the behavior with ALL the apps over the system. So it looks like either KDE or Firefox problem, but not a problem with one particular app. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
