Hi Edward,
AFAIK, there are a few different mechanisms to set "default browser":
1. Debian system, update-alternatives
2. Freedesktop.org: XDG, xdg-settings
3. TDE: configured via file extensions
3b. PCManFM-Qt: probably doesn't use the TDE mechanism and may have
another way to start programs for certain types of files
4. Firefox: (don't know how FF does it on a Linux system, I assume it
uses one of the first two)
Speculation: it may be possible, that konqueror starts an HTML-file with
konqueror and PCManFM with firefox through their own mechanisms…
Correct me if I'm wrong.
HTH
Cheers, Stefan
