Hi Nik, When I turned the system on this morning (without launching Konqueror), Firefox and Thunderbird were working as expected. But when I checked the Firefox preferences, it again said it was not the default browser, I changed it back. Something system-wide keeps changing the default browser. I don't know what is installed managing autostart. I added the above user pref line to a new file 'user.js' in the profile directory, this is commented as one method to change the preferences when looking at prefs.js in vim, however when launching Firefox after, the preferences again indicated it wasn't the default and the same user pref was true, so the user.js had no effect. -- Linux.
