Hi Nik,
When I turned the system on this morning (without launching Konqueror),
Firefox and Thunderbird were working as expected. But when I checked the
Firefox preferences, it again said it was not the default browser, I
changed it back.
Something system-wide keeps changing the default browser.
I don't know what is installed managing autostart.
I added the above user pref line to a new file 'user.js' in the profile
directory, this is commented as one method to change the preferences
when looking at prefs.js in vim, however when launching Firefox after,
the preferences again indicated it wasn't the default and the same user
pref was true, so the user.js had no effect.
Is it possible that there are left-over tasks running that were created by
another desktop, that might be changing this setting? I wonder, because when
I used to reinstall my OpenSuSE system, to get GUI working I had to choose
KDE(4) or Gnome, and since I really wanted to ultimately install Trinity, I
chose Gnome. Once Trinity was working my system was amazingly slow, and
after a lot of hairpulling I discovered that Gnome's file indexing subsystem
was starting, even though I wasn't using Gnome; I had to delete those Gnome
components. Maybe something similar is happening on your machine?
