Bug#1089134: kio: following https links in terminal/quassel/liferea doesn't work

[Paul Gevers <elbrus@debian.org>]

Package: kio
Version: 5.115.0-9
Severity: normal

At the risk of having the completely wrong package I file this against 
kio, please reassign if this is wrong.

Since recently clicking on http links in my terminal, rss reader 
(liferea) or irc client (quassel) doesn't open in my browser, but pops 
up a window to choose an application. If I select my browser 
(/usr/bin/firefox) a local copy of the page gets displayed instead of 
the original link.

I see this in the terminal if I use xdg-open:
paul@toba ~ $ xdg-open https://www.debian.org
kf.kio.core.connection: Socket not connected QLocalSocket::PeerClosedError
kf.kio.core: An error occurred during write. The worker terminates now.

PS: to be totally fair, my laptop is new, so this is a rather fresh 
install. I'm not 100% sure (about 95%) that this ever worked on *this* 
laptop; very soon after the installation the qt6 influx of packages to 
testing happened and during that time things behaved in an even weirder 
way, but I was hoping it would be fixed with qt6 done.
