Firefox Aurora is set as my default browser, but opening links in Okular causes them to open in Brave. I do not yet know if this issue occurs in other KDE Applications. Also I wish there was a "Small KDE Problem Forum thread for small issues like this that honestly do not deserve their own topic.

If you run
xdg-open https://kde.org
does it open the correct browser?
I agree!

You might look in “Default Applications”. I know you can assign what type file (e.g., .pdf) will open in what application in the “File Associations” tab…there’s a chance the “Application preference order” might be the problem.
when i go to default applications my web browser is set to firefox and works as expected most of the time, but occasionally things will open in falkon (which i’ve installed) … this will happen if i click on links embedded into KDE dialogs like the crash report popup.
also running xdg-open https://kde.org will take me to firefox.
most interesting tho, is if i choose the Defaults button on that settings page, then my browser resets to Falkon and i have no idea why that would get to be the default default (default^2?) since it was installed by me and not part of my kubuntu distro.
just thought that was interesting … maybe it’s a Qt thing? like how hair dog recognize each other.
Silly proposal but I’ll try: did you try setting the default browser to something else, saving, and then setting it back to firefox?
Of course.
