We just debated about a couple of times. While someone seems missing this 
feature, we noted we are having "a lot" of icons in the urlbar, letting it 
being a notification area, more than an action one.
Please, consider start using CTRL + L shortcut and write over the selected 
text. You'll have the additional addon that this solution will work on every 
browser on Earth.

You have a point, here. The problem came (2 releases ago?) when trying to 
change the download dir, the change was NOT applied. Working to provide a

The default application comes from KDE settings (system settings --> file 
associations). Am I missing something? Have you some particular case where 
this doesn't happen? If so, please report them.
