Hmm. By default, KDE will choose the application best suitable for the 
type of file the URL points to. This decision is made based on the 
installed .desktop files. Maybe there's something wrong.

To use Firefox for all URLs add
BrowserApplication[$e]=!/usr/bin/firefox
to the [General] section of ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
