I was able to fix this in konqueror -> settings -> file type bindings (or similar..)
In the HTML bindigs, for some reason Kate was listed before Konqueror. Moving Konqueror above Kate made it work as supposed. I don't know what's the reason for this but this seems to be the fix. So this is a plain Feisty Kubuntu install and no other packages installed than stuff available from default repos and Swiftfox. r -- [Feisty Fawn] konqueror doesn't open url but save https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
