            Bug ID: 363103
           Summary: when a hot-link inside a pdf document is clicked from
                    within Okular it launches the non-default browser and
                    fails with network error
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.24.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: isogoog at gmail.com

The hotlink within every PDF file is available from all pdf viewers and the
viewers all follow the link correctly, launching the correct browser and
resolving the link correctly. The same hotlinks in the same documents, while
visible within Okular, do not now launch the default browser but shows some
other browser which fails to resolve the link, giving a network error. This is
new behaviour with this version. Okular never did it before.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a pdf file with a small area hotlinked to a local html file
2.open okular to view the pdf file and locate the hot linked area, mouse over
to see the URL.
3.click the area and see strange Ubuntu default browser appear showing 'network
error'.
4. try with evince and all works fine.

Actual Results:  
cannot view the local html file

Expected Results:  
view the local html file

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Okular 24.02
