I am a full time KDE user and I don't have GNOME or its libraries.
Firefox and Thunderbird keep asking me to choose applications to open
.pdf, .doc, .xls, http://, etc.
Is there no package which can fix the file associations for FF and TB ?

That's likely some xdg stuff. It usually works using gnome, KDE and xfce
but nothing else. KDE probably has some preferences thing somewhere,
otherwise you're pretty much as f..... as everyone who doesn't use a big
DE. Hurray for 'Desktop Integration'..

I don't think so.
xdg-settings --list gives on default-web-browser.

You can't use xdg-settings when you don't have one of the major DEs
running, xdg-open falls back to a hardcoded array of browsers in that
case. It's all quite awkward if you don't use gnome, kde or xfce.
I know, doesn't really help with your problem..

Have you read the first line of my post properly ? I said I am a 100% KDE user.
