Hi!

 

Every 2 or 3 days I have to readd firefox to the MIME types in konqueror, because it's missing again. Especially because of the length of the entry, which is "firefox -a firefox remote "openURL(%u,new-window)" || firefox %u" this get's on my nerves. How do I make KDE remember my settings for a longer time? This is obviously a bug. Does anybody know a workaround?

not exactly sure, but 2 things you could try..........

 

open KDE Control Center (kicker->system->configuration->configure your desktop), go to components->file associations & type htm in the search box. make sure firefox is at the top of the "application preference order" & "apply".

 

also, in components->session manager, check "restore previous session" if it sin't already, "apply".

@first suggestion: firefox is not at the top of the list because it's completely missing

 

@2nd suggestion: it is already...

in the file associations dialogue you must use the "add" button to add firefox as your default html application. i can't remember right now if it will opne up a box of available applications to choose from, or if you have to browse to the executable. if it's the former, then just choose firefox & move it to the top of the order. if you have to browse for it, it should be in /usr/bin (or maybe /usr/lib).

this works very well - for one or two days...
