changing default applications

Changing the default application for a file-type - in kcontrol (in Mandrake, this has the menu shortcut K -> System -> Configuration -> Configure your desktop)

Components -> File Associations.

According to http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.linux/16472

changed the default app for html to firefox, but with a change - firefox needs the "Command" field to be

firefox %u 

- not

firefox openURL %u text/html

like for konqueror
