I created a separate account with default settings, to do software development. In
konqueror, I added a tab dedicated to man:/, but when I click on any of the man section
links instead of opening them in that tab it sends them to Firefox(!)
That doesn't happen in the konqueror in my regular account. What might be the
cause?

I'd check Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations, although I'm
not
sure which mimetype would correspond to man pages.

Well, /usr/share/man contains the man files in Section subdirectories;

*.1
files, so opens them with what looks like khexedit. There is a mime type for man, but
it's for "Troff Document with Manpage Macros," not for man files.
The strange thing is that on my primary account (this one I'm emailing from),
konqueror
opens man:/(1) (the equivalent to /usr/share/man/man1) properly, not forwarding it to
another browser; so I don't think it's a mime issue. Very strange.

Well, /usr/share/man contains the man files in
Section subdirectories;
e.g. /usr/share/man/man1 contains User Commands. Each file is a gzip'ed file, e.g.
alsamixer.1.gz. konqueror opens this by default with ark, which doesn't recognize
*.1
files, so opens them with what looks like khexedit. There is a mime type for man, but
it's for "Troff Document with Manpage Macros," not for man files.

Hi Leslie,
worth checking the settings for default browser as well, in addition to the file
association that has already been
mentioned.
Cheers

The problem was that somehow Firefox was added to mime text/html above Konqueror.
Moving
it down fixed the issue.
