eroica Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 hello, One short ? I want to be able to create a shortcut to an html page on desktop and have mozilla open it not Konqueror. when I tried changing file assosciation of html files in KDE configure I told KDE to use the shell script @ /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla to open the s/c with. when i clicked on the s/c all i got were a bunch of warnings about missing kde apps and mozilla opened to some local kde page on my hard drive. Can someone please explain how u would go about getting mozilla to open web page & s/c on ones machine. by the way i'm using mandrake 9.1 & mozilla 1.5... alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 the easiest way would be just to do: mozilla /path/to/page.html if you just want it to use only that page. if you want to change the default browser, I'd assume that'd be in KDE Control Center somewhere (I don't use KDE, so I'm not sure).

eroica Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 yeah i did goto the kde cc and change the html file association to use mozilla first but it didnt work properly. Mozilla would open but not go the web short cut.I had the file association pointing to the mozilla shell script. is maybe that the problem? alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 (edited) I doubt it is possible to let mozilla open the html file on your desktop and konquror all other html files using kcontrol. Maybe you could use a little script and place that on you desktop. #!/bin/bash mozilla-firefox /home/XXXX/Desktop/HTML-bestand This works for me but you'll have of course 2 files on your desktop. Good luck <edit> another way: create a 'shortcut to an application' on your desktop and give in the field 'command' mozilla-firefox /home/XXXX/Desktop/HTML-bestand.
