Hello. How are you changing to a new default browser, and to what browser are you trying to change to?

[OneLine]

Maybe ?

The User

Every user can have own personal settings.

KDE system Settings > Default Applications > Web Browser (*1)

The default browser is saved to the ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals.

The default is:

[General]
BrowserApplication[$e]=!rekonq
...

This could be same as the font reset: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthr...eeps-resetting

...the Kubuntu is resetting to the default Kubuntu settings... workaround: edit the Kubuntu defaults: /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/kdeglobals

The System or root's settings

There can be only one login theme, the root/administrator's theme. The KDM theme: KDE system settings > Login Screen.

The settings are saved to the /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc.




*1. The html mime type (local html files) is associated by the KDE System Settings > File Associations > text > html > Application Preference Order.

Saved to the ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.

Okay that was it. Thank You.

I opened /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/kdeglobals with kdesudo and edited the file with kate. Changed the fonts to what I wanted and changed rekonq to firefox. That has solved the issue.

I guess I could have just

sudo kate /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/kdeglobals

and edited that way.
