Hello,

I'm switching from Mint to Kubuntu. The KDE Desktop is soooo well made. Incredible!

I hope to find an answer on the following.

1. In Firefox, when clicking on a telephone number, a Firefox-modal opens : "Choose an application to open the tel link". You can choose between "System Handler" or "Choose other Application".

2. In my System Settings > Applications > Default Applications is KDE Connect selected as dialer.

Soooo 1 & 2 together should make that, while clicking on a telephone link, and selecting system handler, KDE opens on my phone with the number in the phones dialer.

This used to work like this in Mint, however... I have no idea how to set this up in KDE Plasma.

I hope to find some help here.

All the best,

Y

Update :

I have done a test in LibreWolf. In this browser the tel-link is opened with the KDE Connect URL handler (and then I can select my device).

How can I make Firefox open tel-links with KDE Connect URL Handler?

I'm just thinking... KDE Connect used to work (as described above) on Mint. It seems that on KDE Firefox is installed via Snap. I have no idea what exactly this means, but apparently Snap has the tendency to break stuff??

On Librewolf it works as it should.
