there is a setting someplace that i cannot find, and it is making me crazy. well, crazier. everywhere i can, i have set firefox as my default browser. but kmail won't listen. no matter what i do, when i click on a link in an email message, here comes konqueror, which is a great file manager and a terrible web browser. i very much hope that this behavior is not hardcoded.
No, this behaviour is not hardcoded. I have Iceweasel, my husband Google Chrome, as our default browser in KMail. I love Konqueror and would myself use it from choice, but It has one crucial failing. I cannot ask it to display with no style. :-( I must do a wish-bug some time!
have set firefox as the default in the kde system settings through kcontrol (and the other places, such as konqueror configuration, where the same choice appears) and it seems to have taken -- everyplace except kmail, which is where it chiefly matters.
anyone know where i can change this?
I used KControl -> KDE Components -> File associations.
But it sounds as though that is what you have done, and it has not been successful. So all I can say is to reiterate that Konqueror is not hardcoded. Sorry. :-(
