Why wasn't it there in the first place? That is rather crucial.

Re: Clicking internet links doesn't work
I have been searching for this problem because I have exactly the same problem described.
I'm using Leap 15.3 and plasma 5.18.6.
Firefox is the default browser.
When I open most links it opens a local file instead
Code:
fernando@andromeda:~> xdg-open https://forums.opensuse.org
fernando@andromeda:~> command= "firefox" args= ("firefox", "https://forums.opensuse.org")
kf.kio.core: Protocol Class of url QUrl("https://forums.opensuse.org") , isn't ':local', cancelling job.
Copying QUrl("https://forums.opensuse.org") to QUrl("file:///home/fernando/.cache/kioexec/krun/6808_0/unnamed")
Telling kioexecd to watch path "/home/fernando/.cache/kioexec/krun/6808_0/unnamed" dest "https://forums.opensuse.org"
All files downloaded, will call slotRunApp shortly
EXEC "/usr/bin/firefox /home/fernando/.cache/kioexec/krun/6808_0/unnamed"
EXEC done

I found the problem.
In system setting I had set web browser to "with the following command" set to
firefox
I changed it to /usr/bin/firefox and it works

I have three options
*In an application based in the contents of the url
*in the following application
*with the following command
in the second option only chromium, seamonkey and opera appear, so y used the third one

Re: Clicking internet links doesn't work
I have the same three option.
But the second shows Firefox or Konqueror only (which is correct, I do not have any other installed). I never changed there, because Firefox is nowadays the default in KDE and thus this was already as it is now surviving several upgrades.
Thus I guess the strange thing here is that you do not have Firefox in that list, although you have it installed?

One funny thing more.
In some applications (for instance I use telegram app to use telegram and rambox to use whatsapp in the pc) the links where not working, after changing the "with the following command" now they work ...... but with chromium!!!! but there is not set in any of this applications to use chromium. Then I change the system settings to "In an application based in the contents of the url" open one of these programs, click on a link and it opens firefox, but not the link. And if I set "in the following application" and set opera, then it open the link with opera

Re: Clicking internet links doesn't work
Sorry I have no idea why this seemingly random use of browsers. I only wanted to show you what I have in a rather bland situation: only standard installed browsers and never (in this area) changed KDE config.

When using those settings, I click on the small icon to the right of "with the following". That gives me an application window where I can find "firefox". This should set it the way that KDE expects.
