When I hover over an URL in konsole (or some program like vim running in a konsole window) the URL is highlighted (underlined) but clicking on it has no effect.
Is there some way of enabling such a click to bring up the URL in my browser (Firefox)?

You can right click on that URL, and select "copy link address"
There was a thread about making Firefox the default web browser through the KDE menu...if you can make that work, then you could right click on the URL and then click "Open Link".

In Alpine and in Pan, I have to right-click to get a menu which begins with "open link" -- in my case with Dillo, because I have that set as my default browser.

Haven't tried it from a konsole link, but the setting is in System Settings > Default Applications > Web Browser.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that, and have set it now.
I don't really see why one should right-click on an URL in konsole, when in every other situation one left clicks on an URL. But c'est la vie.
