I'm running 99.99% stable here so takes that for what it is. Here,
with Firefox open I run in konsole

eix ardour

and then right click on the ardour.org link and choose Open Link. I
get the Ardour web site in the running version of Firefox.

With Firefox not running KDE/konsole still opens Firefox.
