Description:
I just installed Chakra linux (which is Arch with KDE on top). I enabled the "extras" part of the repositories so I could download skype, chromium and firefox. They all succesfully downloaded. Skype installed and opens correctly. However when I try to search for chromium or firefox in the 'Kickoff Application Launcher' or type it into the konsole (any console has the same output) it doesn't open, it only says that 'bash: chromium: command not found.

Now I am new to Arch linux, I've been with ubuntu and debian based distros for a while (I am fairly experienced with linux) and thought I'd test arch out without going through the hour long config in the terminal... :P

Additional info:
firefox-kde-23.0.1-2-x86_64
chromium-29.0.1547.62-1

Steps to reproduce:
- Enable extras repo in pacman.conf
- Install chromium by: sudo pacman -S chromium
* OR *
- Install firefox by: sudo pacman -S firefox
- Attempt to launch either browser
- Get error, or in the application launcher nothing appears
This task depends upon
