URL opens page in Kate instead of browser

[quarkslot]

My audio player (aTunes) provides a summary of artist/album information, if you want to read more there's a link to take you to the full article on the web.

The web links used to open in my browser but somewhere along the line my system decided instead to download the source code of the web page and show this in Kate.

According to the developer of aTunes nothing has changed in the app; it presents a URL which should be opened by the default application on my system. The problem is I don't think I've changed anything and when I look in File Associations under System Settings I can't work out what, if anything, is configured incorrectly.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Nick

What is under "text/html" in the file associations. Also, what is selected in default applications > web browser?

[quarkslot]

In default applications my web browser is set to Opera

There isn't a specific entry in file associations for "text/html" but
- type html (*.htm and *.html) is set to Opera
- type plain (including *.txt) is set to Kate - which is what I'd expect
- type richtext also set to Kate
