Default Browser KDE

Hi all,
I've got Sabnzbd perfectly running under the current KDE 5.22.5, Kernel 5.13.19 with the last update of Manjaro KDE flavor. My default browser is Vivaldi but Sabnzbd always opens in Firefox which is a little bit annoying. I have to uninstall Firefox and then Sabnzbd opens in Vivaldi but after reinstalling Firefox Sabnzbd chooses FF again. I've set the default browser in the settings, changed it back- and forwards, set the file associations etc. but Sabnnzbd doesn't care at all. If I open a html file from the file manager (Dolphin) it works but not with Sab.

Can anybody help here?

Thanks in advance

What happens when you execute:

Code: Select all

python3 -m webbrowser -t "https://www.python.org"
from the Linux command line?

Thanks sander! It also opens FF :(
So it seems that there is a KDE issue and not a sabnzbd one, isn't it?

A workaround I've just found: Installing FF as a flatpak works. Now FF is available on the system but not the default browser and sab as well as your command opens in Vivaldi.

Not perfect but ok, I think.

Indeed not a sabnzbd thing, but something at OS / KDE level.

Glad you found a workaround.
