           Summary: Default application for file type looks for menu entry
                    to find it
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: beli0135 at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Problem:
Installed SwiftFox which registered as 'Firefox' in KDE menu, with it's path. 
*.html is registered to firefox and every time I try to open HTML file, it
reported error that Swiftfox could not be found.

I went to the personal settings -> advanced -> default apps, but there, firefox
was registered. I tried to change but nothing happened.

Right click on html to change default app, firefox was registered, if I changed
to Konqueror, it opened with Konqueror. Putting back to firefox, error
repeated.

Error was resolved by editing MENU, firefox shortcut, which had path to
swiftfox there. I changed it to /usr/bin/firefox and suddenly everything
started to work as before.

BUG: KDE should not rely on menu shortcuts to run application.
