I don't know for sure Marcelo. 

I have just upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3.3. All I had to do in 4.2.2 was select View 
> Preiviews and I had previews. albeit there was a setting in Settings > Configure 
Konqeror which allowed you to set the upper limit on the size of file to be 
previewd which was helpfull if I had .tiff images a couple mb large. Now you have 
to select each  file type, e.g. .pdf, .html, video etc. to be previewed 
individually. Note you will also have to set your konqueror preview icon size to 
at least 48 pixels to get the previews. But there was a minimum size requirement 
previously so nothing new there.
