--- Comment #9 from Konrad Materka <kmaterka@wp.pl> ---
I looked at the code, it might be tricky to fix it.

First thing why KDE is not opening URL in the browser but tries to connect to
URL internally. This is a feature, not a bug :) When you pass URL pointing to,
for example, zip archive it will open directly in Ark, not in the browser. This
is pretty neat if you ask me :)

The problem is in two cases:
* connection refuse/timeout/etc when KDE is configured with wrong proxy (or any
other cause). Usually when browser is configured differently than KDE (for
example proxy). It is hard to say if this is a bug or not.
* URL content is behind some kind of authorization, for example link to
internal Jira issue. KDE internally follows redirection to login page, then
recognizes content as HTML and opens new (redirected) URL in the browser. This
is exactly what was described in bug 354246.

I think that bug 354246 was wrongly marked as duplicate, it is a different
case.
