Version: 2.2.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-14-generic When I right-click a URL in Konsole and click "Open Browser Here," Dolphin opens, but Firefox, my web browser, does not.
This is correct - 'Open Browser Here' means 'file browser', not 'web browser' - hence the Dolphin icon. The menu action which opens Firefox is the top one labeled 'Open Link'. Unfortunately the text 'Open File Browser Here' is too long to fit in the menu. If we could know for sure which application would be used to open the folder then it could be changed to 'Open Dolphin Here' or 'Open Nautilus Here'.
But why would I want to open a file browser in an http URL? That doesn't make any sense as a menu option.
It opens the file browser at the current directory of the program running in the terminal - usually the current directory that the shell is in. This action is always visible when right-clicking in the terminal. When you right-click on URLs then two additional actions ("Open Link" and "Copy Link Location") are added to the top of the menu.
I think 'Open Browser Here' needs to be changed to 'Open File Manager'. There is too much confusion over 'Browser'.
Yes - I think that would be better.
