  Rather than opening a link in my default browser, “follow link” opens the web browser with the following URL, rather than the actual URL:

  file:///home/user/.cache/kioexec/krun/2872_0/viewtopic.php

  Not sure what is going on, but I assume that this has something with the way KDE Plasma is treating the URL with the helper program (?) kioexec.

  Is this a mime type issue?

  Hi. I don’t believe this is an issue for the Simplenote app from Automattic. Have you maybe posted in the wrong forum?
