I have removed the marker for "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" , and google chrome is set as default, so started FF up again, but still doing the same no prompt to load as default y/n, still FF default browser, is there any other way?

cor-el,

I looked at the link "*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Setting+Firefox+as+the+default+browser+does+not+work"and tried what is said but under system tab there is no preferences?, also dont know how to get to the KDE system settings/advanced/file associations?
