I've just spend the last couple of hours trying to figure out a fairly similar problem! Under KDE3, Thunderbird opens URL links with Konquerer (the default browser for opening a URL), and I wanted to use Firefox. So I figured the easiest way would be somewhere in kde's config, changing the default browser that it uses to open URL's..
