I want my Kubuntu to use Firefox as a default browser, i already selected it as a default browser thru Systems Settings > KDE Components, but it is still want to use Konqueror, is there another method?

Re: Firefox as default

What's "it"? Do you mean when you click on links from your email client? What's your email client?

... or did you mean something else (opening .html files locally, for example)?

In other words, what do you do that launches Konqueror instead?

click -k- then system settings. to the far right click KDE components. there you can change your default browser.

I had the sam boggle with the newsticker, changed it to fire fox and all is grand again in Linux Land.

As you'd know if you'd actually read the post, he already tried that and it does not work. Please read before you post.

Anyway I would love it if someone had a solution as this annoys the *** out of me. But I'm guessing its simply a flaw in kde that can only be fix in the few apps that have a browser option.

I had the same problem, and cured with the informatio on this post.

The 3rd post covers Firefox and the 6th Thunderbird.

With the modifications to Firefox and the code to sort Thunder bird all is working as needed now.
