How can you select Firefox as default browser in KDE?
Jim Flanagan
- Open the KDE Control Center - Expand "KDE Components" - Select "File Associations" - Expand "Text" in the right-hand pane - Select "html" - Either move to the top an existing "Firefox" action (unlikely, I imagine) or... "Add..." a new action in the "Application Prefernce Order" list whose "Application" tab's "Command" field contains "firefox -remote "openURL(%u)" Doug If the "firefox" executable (a script, actually) is not in your PATH, then use the absolute path name instead of the plain "firefox" in the action's command.

Thanks Doug and Randall. Both tips did the trick. On my 9.1 box with Firefox installed as an RPM, the list showed Firefox already. On my 8.2 box with Firefox installed from source 9not RPM) I had to add it. In both cases this did the trick. Many thanks. To the original poster, sorry for jumping in on your Gnome related post. I had the same problem as you, only with KDE instead of Gnome. Best... Jim Flanagan
