SUMMARY
When I click any link in any KDE app, for example "Configure" to configure the Google account in Kontact, instead of following the link, an app called kioexec starts and downloads the HTML of the link, then my browser displays it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any KDE app.
2. Click "About".
3. Click the first link you see.

OBSERVED RESULT
kioexec downloads the HTML of the page at the address, then browser displays it.

EXPECTED RESULT
The link opening in browser.

It appears the problem originates from my browser's app in the app list not having "%u" in its arguments. Maybe someone else more proficient can elaborate on this.

What brought this onto me: I have changed "%u" in the arguments list of Vivaldi to "--force-dark-mode".
