Comment 1 Nate Graham 2023-05-17 19:16:52 UTC 
Cannot reproduce.

This would imply that the default browser is not set up correctly.

Is this a new install? Or is it an old install, and it just started happening randomly, out of the blue?
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2023-05-17 19:34:53 UTC 
You are right. For some reason, Firefox is not available as an option in Default Applications KCM. Then I used the option "Other...' to choose
an option that runs Firefox natively on Wayland created with kmenuedit. If I choose the Firefox option automatically created when Firefox was installed instead, the bug does not occur.  I can also reproduce the bug when setting an option that runs Chromium natively on Wayland created with kmenuedit as default browser.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-05-18 14:16:33 UTC 
Thanks.

Can you attach the desktop file that you created whch triggers the bug, and also the desktop file that comes installed with the app, so we can see the differences between them?

Comment 6 Nicolas Fella 2023-05-18 16:08:06 UTC 
The problem is that the %U got lost from the Exec= line
Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2023-05-18 16:20:50 UTC 
I have added "%U" to beginning of "Command-line arguments" field of the .desktop files in kmenuedit, saved the change and now the bug is fixed. :)
Thank you Nicolas.
