Ubuntu One Client

How do I change the default web brower in Kubuntu from Konqueror to Firefox?

Asked by SamioSeven

maybe a configuration menu to make some choice like a browser...?
I'm using firefox but konqueror is started instead if I click on "Go to Web" menu item.

Kubuntu 9.04: Linux 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Hi!

Thanks for your feedback. The applet launches the system default browser using 'xdg-open' which on Gnome invokes the system default browser. On KDE this is generally set to Konqurer.

It sounds like it's doing what it's supposed to. You should be able to change the desktop settings for KDE to alter the system default browser. I don't recall where that is off hand, and don't have any KDE desktops readily available to refer to.

Please note that we don't have any KDE-specific support handling coded for the current released client.
