Riding Linux

For some reasons I preferred Mozilla Firefox than the default internet browser in KDE which is Konqueror. This is mainly because I’ve just recently moved to a linux machine and I use Firefox exclusively for the past few years during my days with MS Windows. I prefer to stick with the one I familiar with.

The below documentation will guide you on how to change your default internet browser in KDE

For Kubuntu Users

Select System Settings from the menu

Within the System Settings choose Default Applications

In the Default Application window Choose Web Browser

Then select “in the following browser” button and click the browse button

Browse the Known Application and choose you preferred Web Browser. In my case Mozilla Firefox. Finally click OK

Click Apply when finished

For Mandriva 2007 Users

In the Control Center choose KDE Components > Component Chooser > Web Browser

Then select “in the following browser” button and click the browse button

Browse the Known Application and choose you preferred Web Browser. In my case Mozilla Firefox. Finally click OK
