[tlug] Mozilla as default browser in KDE

[Charles Muller <acmuller@example.com>]

In KDE 3.4, when I'm reading mail in Thunderbird and click on a URL, 
it always opens up in Konqueror. I changed to Mozilla in File 
Associations (.htm, .html) and Web Browser under Components in the 
Control Center. But I still end up with Konqueror.

I Googled on this, and the matter was treated on the Mozilla web site 
(http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser), where it 
said (after suggesting the above two changes):

"Select "Add..." under "Application Preference Order" and write 
the command firefox %U (mozilla %U for Mozilla) and select OK. You 
need "%U" so you can load URLs that are non-local files."

But this still doesn't have its desired effect.  Not that I have any 
special dislike for Konqueror, but it makes me curious as to whether 
this is some sort of bug, or odd function of KDE, or if there is one 
more setting somewhere else that I've missed.
