+By the way, I've developped an evolution to the firefox-helper.sh script.
+
+It works with KDE, gnome, graphical console, opens new windows or new tab when necessary, etc... (solves zcat(1) problem, below this)
+
+download it at: http://www.iespana.es/infogeneral_es/contrib/mozz
+
+don't forget to modify variable FIREFOX_PATH to put your firefox path
+
+(and if you use firefox under 0.9 you may have change the call of firefox and uncomment one line)

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..
