Bug ID: 417861
Summary: Firefox and Thunderbird no longer adhere to MIMETYPE
associatons
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: sander.s...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Recently both Firefox and Thunderbird stopped following MIMETYPE associations
on Arch. This means that opening an attachment in Thunderbird or opening a
downloaded file directly through the Firefox download interface a different
application would be used to open the file compared to xdg-open or dolphin.
I've tried to remove
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Firefox (not the firefox-kde-opensuse-bin as that seems to be not
affected)
2. Download a random file (e.g. PDF)
OBSERVED RESULT
Notice that it opens in a different application compared to opening the same
file through dolphin or xdg-open.
EXPECTED RESULT
The file being opened as if it was done through dolphin or xdg-open.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
More people are expriencing the issue and for different users different
applications seem to open. A relevant thread on reddit highlights this:

I've tried to find the associations myself and only learned about the
handlers.json file in the firefox profile. Removing that one didn't change
anything.
I've reached out to Nate Graham and he recommended making this bug ticket for
the XDG Desktop Portal component.
