Problem with xdg-open

2009-03-18 Thread Steven W. Orr

My /etc/mailcap has this entry in it:

text/html; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s ; copiousoutput

But when I go to a link because of it, it ends up starting Konqueror. How 
do I tell xdg-open that this is *not* my preferred app and that I'd like 
it to use firefox instead?


TIA

The answer is, in whatever environment you're in, how to set the default
browser (ie, the default handler for text/html).

Ok, What's a DE. I am using KDE. Also, there's nothing in my environment 
that has konq in it.

570  env | grep -i konq

That's your DE. :-)

DE stands for Desktop Environment.

 Also, there's nothing in my environment that has konq in it.

It's not set up in environment variables, but in KDE's System Settings.
