KDE keeps opening Urls with Konqueror instead of Firefox

[sjonnie48]

hi,

Thunderbird is my mailclient, and KDE keeps opening urls with Konqueror instead of Firefox, no matter what I try.
What did I try:

System Settings/KDE Components/Default Applications, where one can set his own defaults.

For my browser I chose Firefox.
Desktop session restarted: zero result.
If you know the secret of how to get this done, please share your secret knowledge with me.

Kind regards.

you probably need to edit

/home/directory/.mozilla-thunderbird/***.default/prefs.js

near the bottom of that file it should read

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "firefox");

JA

Thank you for your reply.

As a matter of fact there are no such lines in my prefs file, and I is useless to add these because the first lines say:

# Mozilla User Preferences

/* Do not edit this file.
*
* If you make changes to this file while the application is running,
* the changes will be overwritten when the application exits.
*
* To make a manual change to preferences, you can visit the URL about:config
* For more information, see http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs
*/

Never mind, I found out what to do at the above url.
