Hi,

This is a fairly standard Ubuntu installation, so no Konqueror.

Installing Konqeuror seems to fix the issue. But this is not an ideal
solution (then again, this isn't exactly a critical bug), and I still
want all URLs to open in my preffered browser (which is firefox), with
this fix, the URLs present in amarok open in Konqueror.

However, it's worth noting that clicking a link in the wikipedia part of
Amarok (click on 'Artist' in the context menu when playing music) does
actually open firefox, which is my choice in the 'General Options'
section of the settings window.

Also, this bug appears to affect my Fedora Core 6 installation as well.
My FC6 already has Konqueror installed, but is otherwise a Gnome set-up.
Konqueror loads up on links within the about windows, but firefox does
get started when I click a wikipedia link.
