How to change default browser

Hello.
Similar issue but doesnt seem to help. When vs code prompts to open a website or any other application it prompts for firdragon, but i removed it thinking it would ask me to change defaults.

Did you edit the file, did you reboot?

cat ~/.profile? What browser is set in default applications?

Since you are using KDE, you should be able to set a new browser default in System Settings > Default Applications > Web Browser.

The /opt/vivaldi/vivaldi when executed starts up browser

Did
any way to make sure about default browser?
actually whenever VS Code prompts to open up a link
it gives message dialogue via this app KIO Client

Unknown error code 100
Could not find the program '/usr/lib/firedragon/firedragon'
Please send a full bug report at https://bugs.kde.org

Well, i felt asking in garuda would be better idea so posted question here

A small update
when i last time checked links from Telegram without reboot, they were giving error
But not this time
somehow it's just VS Code
is it some type of default that isn't removed?
or issue with VS Code?

Maybe check if this helps:

Maybe test it with both vivaldi-stable.desktop and vivaldi.desktop, since something could have changed in these months.

Well
Can't seem to find what the issue is
But it's problem with just vs code where I won't be clicking links much
None of the above worked
