I have set firefox as my default browser but applications keep opening Chrome. In fact even Chrome acknowledges that its not the default browser and asks to be set as default. Also all applications open Dolphin yet Konqueror is set as default file manager. If you switch to dolphin it will switch back to Konqueror. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Systemsettings > default applications > web brower > firefox 2. open a link 3. Actual Results: Opens Chrome Expected Results: Open link in Firefox
where/how are you opening the link?
*** Bug 340579 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Like I recieved this through an email from bugzilla in KMail. If I click that email, it will be opened in Konqueror and not Firefox which is set as the default browser.
Links are being opened in any browser but what is set in the system settings. I set Chrome as my default browser in system settings and I had to uninstall both konqueror and firefox to be able to use Chrome. Chrome settings has set as default browser which shows Chrome is not the default browser. I can't set it to be default browser by clicking on it. Clicking on the tab makes no difference.
Plasma 5 writes to /home/david/.config/kdeglobals. KDE4 apps naturally read from ~/.kde4/whatever I'll try and make them sync. as a workaround run kcmshell4 componentchooser.

In which case our KF5 settings are wrong too. We're writing to somewhere in .local
err, KF5 supports both actually (for now at least), but kdelibs4 uses only deprecated location.
Bug should be reopened because it seems to be still valid! Problem currently exists in Fedora 22 Beta using plasma-shell 5.2.2 and framework version 5.8.0. Google chrome seems to be used to open links when set as the default browser via kde settings but still complains about not being default on every start. Setting as default browser via chrome's settings has no effect at all!
I pushed a fix for 5.3 that should fix this.
(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #11) > I pushed a fix for 5.3 that should fix this. It didn't. I'm on Kubuntu (latest updates installed), which should put me on 5.4.2 or 5.4.3, and I have set chrome as default in both kde 4 and kde 5 (using command in comment 5). the make-default-browser button does nothing in chrome. Links (for example opened in Contacts (or whatever the chat app is called -- not konversation)) open in firefox, even though both kde4 and kde5 default browser menus say to open in chrome.
I had this problem again in Plasma 5.4. More details can be seen here [1]. I had to manually add BrowserApplication[$e]=!google-chrome whatever you want your default browser be to ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals.
