I'd like to make it the default, but everytime I click a link in
konqueror, it launches anothercopy of mozilla.
So how do I make konqueror the default?
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Running Devuan Jessie, but maybe close enough.
Myself, I never use Konqueror to browse the web, as I find it more useful as
file manager. But since you asked, I looked under the hood, and there is
no "standard" way to set it as default web browser (that is, like the
"click
me" button that you see in Mozilla browsers).
1. Check settings & profiles, where you can have separate profiles for web
browser and file management. You want to create a profile for web browser,
where you decide about how to configure it for use online.
2. Find an html file inside one of your Konqueror folders. Right-click and
choose "open with", but (even if you see Konqueror in the list), go all the
way to the bottom and choose "other", then choose Konqueror, and check the
option "always use Konqueror" for such files.
That is probably the best you can do from inside Konqueror's gui. Maybe there
is a command-line way to make it default? Somebody else out there may know
how to do that, and it would be good to know, especially if we can apply it
to other browsers and programs.
3. Find a better web browser. (Again, you probably have your reasons, but ...
but ... ) Midori, Netsurf, Qupzilla, Arora, Seamonkey, PaleMoon, Lynx,
Links2, Elinks, Dillo, Epiphany, Icecat, Tor Browser, Conkeror, Xombrero. And
I haven't even got into the proprietary, non-free browsers like Vivaldi,
Chromium, etc.

One way to file associations is settings > configure konqueror. Type
in html (click text +, then html) and move konqueror to the top of the
list.

Gene, open the control center and go to "components"->"standard
applications" there you find "Web Browser"
I translate from my locales, but I am sure you will find your way.

You can find the rest from there.
Sorry I didn't list these in my earlier response; just occurred to me. I have
gone digging round in Konqueror since about Hardy 8.04.2, so about 2006-2008?
