I tried on the same device with pixiv installed from Aurora Store and could reproduce your bug. Thank you for reporting it.

Take a look if there are superfluous (i.e. belonging to uninstalled apps) .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications, and delete them. Also edit mimeinfo.cache in the same folder to remove items pointing to deleted apps/.desktop files.

edit:
technically this is not a SailfishOS bug but a “quirk” common to most Desktop Linux.

I will give this a shot. Hope it works.

Oddly, I am unable to find mimeinfo.cache
