WWW Browser/HTML Associations through KDE

[Mike Klinke]

All,

By using the 

KDE Control Center ->
  KDE Components ->
    File Associations ->

interface to associate the 'html' file type to either have Konqueror 
or Mozilla as the primary association I see a problem.

When the association has Konqueror as primary then clicking on the 
link below: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list will 
bring up the page properly with the string:

http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

in the address bar as it should.  However, if I set up mozilla as the 
primary browser and click on the same link the page will only 
partially come up since it seems it has downloaded part of it to 
local cache and the address bar shows:

file:///root/.kde/share/apps/kfmexec/tmp/3957.0.fedora-list

when logged in as root, instead of the remote site address.  I believe 
this to be a bug in KDE but I'm not sure if I'm just missing some 
other configuration setting.  Can anyone confirm this as a bug or 
shed some light on what's going on?

Regards,  Mike Klinke

Well,

At the risk of talking to myself I did find the answer to my own 
question.  I did indeed need to do more configuration.  The 
properties of each of the entries in the "Application Preference 
Order" can be edited. Once in the properties, the "execute" tab's 
"command:" needs to be modified to read:

mozilla %u

and then Mozilla will work as expected when a link is clicked in 
kmail.

Hope this'll help someone else.

Regards,  Mike Klinke

I had the same problem. Check if you have 2 entries for Mozilla under 
the "File associations" tab for html -- if you do, choose the one 
labelled "Mozilla Web Browser". That worked for me.

Redhat used to have a small package for managing this. Don't know about
fedora. Don't remember the proggie name either :-)
