Description Michael Loeffler 2008-11-04 11:29:25 UTC 
Using a 11.1beta live installation, ktorrent does not configure itself as torrent client in Firefox.
Comment 1 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2008-11-04 22:06:36 UTC 
I fear that is something like WONTFIX.
Firefox gets its helper applications mainly through gnome-vfs. Since 11.0 it was decided that the gnome-vfs components in Firefox are not shipped on the KDE liveCD because of dependency and space reasons. It could probably still work using system mailcap and mime-types.
So I'm not sure if that is a ktorrent issue since I wouldn't expect that Firefox gets much helper applications detected anyway if installed without 
mozilla-xulrunner190-gnomevfs.
Comment 2 Marko Jung 2008-11-05 10:51:18 UTC 
To clarify this: using a KDE Desktop (live CD or installed system) there will be no helper-applications preconfigured for Firefox?
Comment 3 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2008-11-05 11:06:40 UTC 
If the system doesn't install mozilla-xulrunner190-gnomevfs (which is true for any installation medium which doesn't provide the package since it's only "Recommended" from the main package by request from TPM), Firefox can only use global and user's mime-types/mailcap configuration to determine helper applications.

There is another issue caused by the split in bug 440872.
Comment 4 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2008-11-05 11:21:13 UTC 
BTW: KDE is not worse than Gnome since the Gnome guys didn't put mozilla-xulrunner190-gnomevfs on their liveCD apparently. (Bug 440873)
Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2008-11-05 11:32:26 UTC 
the gnome cd should be easy and safe to fix. And it's not the Gnome guys, I think this was done by cthiel.

On the KDE CD there is simply no room left. You need to zypper in mozilla-xulrunner190-gnomevfs after installation
