Hello. I've got a laptop I'm running OpenSuSe 11.3 with KDE4 on. In addition, I've installed the KDE3 version of KDEPIM on it. But not the KDE3 desktop.
My problem is that if I have both Firefox and Kompozer (a website editor) installed, every time I click on a web link in an email, it starts up Kompozer INSTEAD of Firefox.
I can't find any way to prioritize Firefox, except to uninstall Kompozer. Can anyone tell me where to look to make clicking on a url go to Firefox and not Kompozer. The KDEPIM is from 3.5.10.
Thanks

AFAIK this should be a configuration option in KDE's settings.

Yes it should, but setting the application preference to Firefox in System Settings/default appications/web browser has no effect on this behaviour in KDEPIM 3.5.10.
It does for other programs.
Can you try something like:
xdg-open http://www.google.com
Best regards, Tiago

When I do that, Firefox opens at google. I guess the next question is how I get KDEPIM 3.5.10 to do that when I click on a link.

Please. That's the first thing I tried. My default web browser IS set to Firefox. Does not help.
I suspect it's because I'm using KDE4 as my desktop, but using a KDE3 program, KDEPIM 3.5.10 as my mail/news program.

OK, I didn't mean to offend. :-)
KDE4 causes all kinds of problems with TDE. There may not be a solution to your problem.

OK. TDE is what?
I've got another spare laptop, so I've installed KDE3 on it, not just KDEPIM under KDE4, and I'll see if that works properly.
