This behavior indicates that the command set as default browser is not 
having %u or %U in its "execute" statement, Either of these two parameters 
tells the desktop environment that the application is able to deal with URLs 
itself, so if it is missing KDE assumes it has to download it to a local file 
first.

Since both file type associations as well as the override default browser are 
usually created from the respective application's menu entry, it usually is 
OK as long as this menu entry is, but I think the user can change the command 
as well, so maybe this is what happend.

Cheers,
Kevin
