When I was previously using Firefox in Kubuntu 22.04, if I downloaded something I could go to the Downloads icon and click on the download and it would open in the desired application. After a failed upgrade to 24.04 I had to do a reinstall and now in Kubuntu 24.04, if I click on a downloaded file it will always bring up a window with "Open the file link with okular?" and the buttons Cancel and Open Link below. How do I go back to the previous way of it working?

This was due to the apparmor rule pointing to /usr/lib/firefox instead of /usr/bin/firefox
