What steps have you followed in order to make Firefox (strictly) your
default browser? My experience with KDE 3.1 had led me to doing the
following:
-Set external browser in KMail to Firefox
-Set external browser in KNode to Firefox
-Set filetypes html and htm to be openable using Firefox (put Firefox at the
top without affecting alternative applications)
These pretty much cover all cases in my personal daily use of SuSE.
