Are you planning on rewriting Konqueror and Firefox?
I'm using squid as a local proxy. Could it be something to
do with squid, or is it a KDE setting?
It's the application code.
The files wouldn't be created in /var/tmp if the browsers weren't creating them.
I'm sure this is relatively new behaviour. The pages open without any background or images, and links in the page don't work. I'm quite sure that previously if I clicked on a link in a received email, such as http://www.demon.net then the default browser would fetch a file called index.htm from http://www.demon.net, not the contents of a file in my /var/tmp directory. Can you tell me what happens when you click on the above link, please? Thank you for your interest.
