So far I've used the KDE Control Menu to raise the priority of my
browser of choice, specifically, Mozilla Firebird. However, I'm still
noticing a few incidences where other programs direct hyper links to a
different browser. For example,
Evolution, opens Galleon. So I un-installed Galleon ;)..
Then it started using Mozilla, so I un installed it ( which caused
problems with my ability to view flash media, so I re-installed it )
While Mozilla was un-installed Evolution pointed to Konqueror...
It seems I can't win with this program.

Evolution is a Gnome application: you have to change a Gnome setting to
alter its behavior, even if you're running it under KDE. Quoting the
very estimable Gunther from the Evolution list:
So here we go again with the most-wanted answer... ;-)
Setting default browser (Evolution 1.4 / Gnome 2.x)
---
Open the Gnome Control Center Preferred Applications Web Browser
or simply run:
$ gnome-default-applications-properties
check 'Custom Web Browser'
Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin %s
This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new
mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me,
change it similar like that:
Command: mozilla-remote.sh %s
Have the following script in your path (or change the command to have
the whole path) and make the script executable.
#!/bin/bash
mozilla -remote 'openURL('$1', new-tab)' || mozilla $1
If you want to use another browser rather than Mozilla, you have to
adjust the command (or the script for most of them, to enable tabs).
Setting default browser using *gconftool*
-
You will need GConf (and the gconf daemon running) to set this. If you
do *not* have the Gnome Control Center installed, there is a way to set
this using GConf directly:
See, which values are stored in that sub-tree. Save the output to a
file, so you can revert to those settings!
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown
command = mozilla %s
need-terminal = false
enabled = true
Now, this should enter all those values (at least, they work for me):
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'mozilla %s'
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/need-terminal false
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/enabled true
