I'm using OO 2.0 rc on Mandrake 10.0
In previous versions of OpenOffice, there was a place to put in the
launcher of my usual browser, in my case, Firefox.
Among the changes in OO2.0 was to either remove this, or to hide it
somewhere and rename it so looking up "external programs" on Help
does
nothing.
OpenOffice will launch my Konqueror Browser, but unfortunately I have
not been able to make Konqueror display Unicode consistently.
Anyone know how to make OO talk to Firefox? JimW
I'm using Firefox on KDE in Suse 9.2. I set it as the default browser
in the KDE control panel, but this didn't seem to make any
difference to
the way in which OO behaved.
However, I had the same problem getting Evolution using Firefox as the
default browser until I found some references on Google to the effect
that you have to set Firefox as the default browser in Gnome to do
this.
I don't use gnome, but learned that if I issued the commandline
command:
gnome-default-applications-properties
it called up a dialogue in which I could set the default browser to
firefox %s
That solved the evolution problem, and apparently did the same for OO,
though I've no idea why.
Try it and see.
Just tried it. Unfortunately, links still come up on Konqueror.

I just set up a new user on my machine, and sure enough clicking on a
link
in ooo opened up konqueror.
However, the following sequence set firefox as the browser:
KDE control centre
kde components
component chooser
web browser
Default component
– in the following browser
firefox
Thanks. After seven or more attempts without finding a browser, I
Googled. found a section that told me if I didn't find Browser, go to
Components>File Associations>text>.html.
Just did that, and tested it. No go.
I'll have to go through things and see if I did somethig wrong.
Thanks again.

Jim,
John K.'s solution (KDE Control Center) should do the trick. Is it
possible that the firefox executable is not in a directory in your PATH?
Can you open a console and type "firefox" to fire it up? If not, you
probably have to supply the full path to the executable to KDE control
center.
