Hi,
I think you could just put "export BROWSER=/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox" in
~/.bashrc or in the kde startup folder.
you can always run export BROWSER=/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox in bash and
it will be set like that for the session but when you log out it will
revert, thats why you should put it in your bashrc. There may already be
a browser entry there, if so just overwrite it.
