This behavior indicates that the command set as default browser is not having %u or %U in its "execute" statement, Either of these two parameters tells the desktop environment that the application is able to deal with URLs itself, so if it is missing KDE assumes it has to download it to a local file first. Since both file type associations as well as the override default browser are usually created from the respective application's menu entry, it usually is OK as long as this menu entry is, but I think the user can change the command as well, so maybe this is what happend.
