+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..
+
+Honestly, even Microsoft doesn't make it THIS HARD to change your default browser!!
+
+The easy solution was to change the browser Thunderbird uses. You don't need any shell script however. I'm using this;
+ user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
+
+I'd still like to know if there's a way of changing the default web browser for everything in KDE though.

+Try putting it in user.js not prefs.js as Thunderbird will just over-write this...
