Description Martin Koller 2021-04-06 09:06:09 UTC
Since some recent update when I use krunner (Alt-F2) and type some google search via "gg:something" hitting enter just shows a spinning busy icon in krunner but does not start my default browser (firefox) with the google search.
This worked great in the last years so something fundamental must have changed.

The weird thing is that sometimes it works (starting firefox immediately). I have not found a pattern yet. Note that I usually run a session for a very long time, just suspending my laptop, so it has nothing to do with a new session.

Always works for me FWIW. Also on Tumbleweed.

Works for me too, do you have the same issue with other queries too?

I did not see it since some time. Let's close it for now.
