QR codes are read but no connect to web

I've had this problem with my iPhone4 and now my iPhone6
I can read a QR code but when I select to go to the web site it points to, nothing happens.

I have 2 different apps [RedLaser & Norton Snap] and they both behave the same.
What's going on?
Am I missing a setting or something?

Is your iPhone jailbroken? Jail breaking sometimes breaks data transfer between applications.
If so, BrowserChanger or BrowserChooser can be loaded from Cydia and might help resolve the issue.

nope
not broken

I guess I'll try a different app.
Why hasn't someone suggested that?
There's an idea.
When you click a link in an e-mail, does it open in the browser?

If not, then your browser association may be broke. Backup your phone and reset to factory, then restore.
I already said try a different app

Well, I tried QR Reader for iPhone and it works.
I wish someone had suggested trying a new app so I could give them the points.
