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; 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. 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.

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

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