the kde4 browser widget would remember the last visited website url and on the next login, go back to that address. there was also a bookmark functionality. the new kde5 widget always goes to www.kde.org and there is no way to change this default address, the bookmark functions havn't been ported either. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a browser widget to the desktop 2. visit any website 3. logout and log back in Actual Results: the browser widget shows www.kde.org again Expected Results: it should show the website you last went to or offer a configuration option to set the default homepage url. the grave severity is exclusive to the browser widget because it is basically useless without being able to a specify a homepage.
in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.webbrowser/contents/ui/main.qml there is ColumnLayout { RowLayout{... PlasmaExtras.ScrollArea {... WebView {... url: "http://kde.org"; which can be changed to an arbitrary address. however, it's not possible to have multiple browser widgets pointing to different home pages either, then
yeah, it needs to read/write to Plasma.configuration If you've found that, maybe it's something you'd like to look into fixing?
Hello, I'll try to add "Default URL" option to config dialog if it's OK for everyone. :) Best regards, Mikhail Ivchenko.
I think easiest would be to store the current Url in plasma.configuration in component on destroyed and use that Url as start. You can also specify a default for an empty config option which would be kde.org

This seems to be fixed in 5.6; I have three browser widgets that always remember the last page I browsed to.
Given this seems fixed according to Michael, and also the review request for this was submitted (see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126590/), I think we can safely close this report. If you encounter any issues again, please either reopen this one, or make a new bug report.
