This is KIO 5.12.0 running on Plasma 5.3.2, by the way. Is the browser really random, or is it the browser requested by the specific MIME Type (see the panel for File Types)? If the settings for MIME Type are used, then this is not a bug, but the expected behavior. That's possible, I've yet to check that. Maybe mention MIME types on the page? Based on ongoing irc exchange/discussion one way to achive the wish here, would be to make the "open in an application based on contents of the URL" checkbox independant of default browser choice (ie, it would no longer be an either/or situation).

Not sure that what's described is actually a bug. If there is a bug, it's probably that by default, the default browser should be specified explicitly by name rather than having users play the mime type ordering guessing game. |
