Konqueror is Misbehaving

[Bottlecap]

I'm using KDE 3.5.10 with Ubuntu 9.10, and Konqueror is acting as if it doesn't know its job. It does fine work as a file manager, but when I ask it to work as a web browser, it gets confused. It will load up any URL I put into the address bar, but if I click on a link, it asks whether I want to open the target's source in kate, or save it.

So... has anyone here seen this before? How can I correct it?

Thanks.

I use firefox but here's how you fix it.

Go to Computer --> System Settings --> Default Applications and set it in there.

Hope this helps -

wizard10000 - thanks, but that didn't do it.

The same versions of KDE and Ubuntu work well together in another system I have, so I'm not thinking incompatibility. I suspect that something deep in the bowels of the system is missing or left unselected, or some such thing.

I use Firefox, too, so this isn't really a serious issue for me, except that when something fails to work properly, the mystery just must be solved!
