Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

I went into K-Menu->System Settings->Default Applications->Web Browser
and set my preferred browser to be firefox. This has worked for KDE
applications -- clicking on a URL in Kopete for example will now open it
in Firefox. Ironically, it doesn't work for my gnome applications. Gaim
will still try open URLs in Konqueror, for example. As long as I'm in
KDE, all apps should obey the setting.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
