[Fixed] Opening https links in kmail does not behave properly in firef

Hope this will be helpful for somebody.

I recently had the problem that if I clicked on a link in kmail like https://evasys.uv.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/ev … _tan=ABCDE, instead of opening that link in firefox, it opened file:///var/tmp/kdecache-akurei/krun/17917.0.indexstud.php in firefox like this:

There were some proposed fixes for this [1][2][3] (e.g.: adding %u to firefox, or using -new-tab, or setting "html" file association in systemsettings to firefox %u), neither of them did work.

What worked was patching kdelibs 4.5.2-2 as described here [4] and here [5] with this patch [6].

Howto:

mkdir -p /tmp/workhere
cd /tmp/workhere
yaourt -G kdelibs // or download it manually
cd kdelibs
makepkg -o
wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=upB6GRnb -O krun.patch
patch -p0 < krun.patch
makepkg -efi
echo "Done"
