Description Karthik Periagaram 2008-08-27 21:06:37 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

Konqueror (4.1) has a button you can add to the toolbar to allow it to open a webpage in Firefox. This is extremely handy if a web page doesn't work well with Konqueror, but works fine with Firefox.

However, this button is not displayed if I close Konqueror and launch it again.

Steps:
1. Settings > Configure Toolbars.
2. Add "Open in Firefox" to main toolbar.
3. Close Konqueror.
4. Open Konqueror.

Even though the button is not displayed, the entry still shows up in the Configure Toolbars dialog.

Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) ?  Thanks :) 
This may be related to some toolbars bugs in KDE4.1 which are fixed in 4.2

Comment 2 Karthik Periagaram 2008-12-24 11:32:07 UTC

I don't have a KDE 4.2 system, but this bug is definitely present in KDE 4.1.3. (Archlinux)

Interestingly, the button doesn't even show up as an option to add to the toolbar if you are not at a webpage (eg. about:konqueror). The option shows up on a webpage (eg. google) but the button is still not displayed on the toolbar.

Hope this helps.

More info here using:

Qt: 4.4.3
KDE: 4.1.86 (KDE 4.1.86 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081221))
kdelibs svn rev. 901348 / kdebase svn rev. 901348
on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.10

When you are in "about:konqueror" the option "Open in Another Browser" doesn't appear in the Configure Toolbars dialog.

After browsing to a website (ex. www.google.com). The option appears in the Configure Toolbars dialog and you can add it to the toolbars. The icon appears in the toolbar and works OK (the site is opened in Firefox when pressed).

However, after, closing and reloading Konqueror, the toolbar dissapears, and in order to activate it again you have to go to a website and add it from the Configure Toolbars dialog again.

Exactly the same here on kde 4.3, archlinux.

Comment 6 info 2009-08-13 13:09:43 UTC

The same with the "Open with Arora" button.

Comment 7 David Heijkamp 2011-01-04 20:08:38 UTC

The problem still exists -- exactly as described -- using KDE SC 4.5.4 / Qt 4.7.1 / Fedora 14.
