Edward,
- Not use Konqueror as a file manager.
Midnight commander (mc) is as file manager far superior to konqueror.

Uh-oh. Let the file-manager wars begin. :-D

We are all free to use whatever suits us best. Linux has plenty of choices.
My point was, it seems a bad idea to use Konqueror as both a web browser and a file manager, even though it's possible, and even though you can create different profiles. Somebody else may know better than I, and I will listen. But my gut instinct says, choose one or the other, web browser or file manager. Don't use Konqueror for both.
The only reason I don't use Konqueror anymore for browsing is that it can't render modern webpages properly because of its ancient HTML engine. Whenever I do accidentally open a web link the results are painful to look at. I suspect that it doesn't provide much of the necessary protection that a modern web browser does, either.
