WWW Browser/HTML Associations through KDE

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
