Hi Nik,
When I turned the system on this morning (without launching Konqueror), Firefox and Thunderbird were working as expected. But when I checked the Firefox preferences, it again said it was not the default browser, I changed it back.
Something system-wide keeps changing the default browser.
I don't know what is installed managing autostart.
I added the above user pref line to a new file 'user.js' in the profile directory, this is commented as one method to change the preferences when looking at prefs.js in vim, however when launching Firefox after, the preferences again indicated it wasn't the default and the same user pref was true, so the user.js had no effect.
Is it possible that there are left-over tasks running that were created by another desktop, that might be changing this setting? I wonder, because when I used to reinstall my OpenSuSE system, to get GUI working I had to choose KDE(4) or Gnome, and since I really wanted to ultimately install Trinity, I chose Gnome. Once Trinity was working my system was amazingly slow, and after a lot of hairpulling I discovered that Gnome's file indexing subsystem was starting, even though I wasn't using Gnome; I had to delete those Gnome components. Maybe something similar is happening on your machine?
