I confirm this.  It does not work for myself or my already existing  
test user.  It DOES work for root, and for a brand new user I just  
created.  I suspect it might be at least partly due to file  
associations, depending on the relative position of Firefox and  
Konqueror for .html files, but I also think there may be something more  
directly related to kio and/or klauncher.
Can anyone suggest where to start looking for relevant config  
differences between users?
