This is what's called a list of mimetypes, and it's how the system knows what program to use to open what file extension. KDE has a brilliant mimetype editor in the system settings, called "file associations".
Also, I have some web pages saved, and if I double click the file, it opens them in rekonq instead. Actually, half the time rekonq won't open them, so I have to use "open with". Despite I have told dolphin that firefox is the default ap for html files.
Ok, so use the file association mime editor I mentioned above, and filter by html, and change the preference order on the right side, moving rekonq down and firefox up.
Need I mention at this point that rekonq is a rubbish piece of software?
Code:
sudo aptitude purge rekonq
So what am I supposed to do here? Yanking rekonq seems obvious. It stinks. Do I also need to purge firefox and reinstall a decent version from synaptic and then reconfigure it?
Sure to the first, no to the second.
