SUMMARY If you remove the browser currently set as the Default Browser, e.g.: by uninstalling the browser, any links via preferred://browser in menus and Task Managers then become broken shortcuts. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install a browser, such as google-chrome-stable 2. Set Google Chrome (in this case) as the default browser 3. Make sure preferred://browser is favorited or pinned in a widget in Plasma 4. Uninstall Google Chrome (in this case) and restart Plasma OBSERVED RESULT preferred://browser mentions are now broken links EXPECTED RESULT preferred://browser should fall back to linking to a remaining internet browser (or the first available browser in the html file application associations).

Yeah. Not sure what we could really do about it though. Removing it automatically wouldn't be very nice. Maybe we could fall back to the next-most-preferred browser? Or just the next one in alphabetical order?

Next most preferred browser would be best, if that's possible, but if not, alphabetical order would definitely work too, I would think.
