[kde-linux] Disabling KDE web-browser

[john d. herron]

When I explained (alas! not quite clearly...) that I had already 
designated Firefox as my default browser, I meant to say that I had done 
exactly what Scott Bicknell is suggesting, but to no avail.
So I'm grateful, Mike Sager, for your suggestion to try the instructions 
in the gentoo-wiki about integrating Thunderbird and Firefox. I did find 
the prefs.js file and edited it as indicated. At first sight that seems 
to have worked. I'll keep my fingers crossed...
Many thanks to both of you.
