[ooo-build] How to set default Internet browser in OOo - SOLVED!

[espinosa_cz]

Finally some stuff solved :)
There is another option for setting a default web browser and email 
client and a few other default application separate from file type 
associations.
kcontrol (KDE Control Center) ->  KDE Components -> Component Chooser -> 
Web Browser -> Default Component - here pick the other option "in the 
following browser" and NOT "the application based on content of the 
URL". So pick the other option and manually add there a full path to 
Firefox (ie /usr/bin/firefox).
Tricky! Also it is quite hidden. You cannot find it by a context search. 
Shame on them!
I don't know the equivalent in KDE4 and if things improved.
