KDE, openoffice bug

Sirs--

I have designated Firefox my Debian Lenny system's MAIN web browser, as stipulated in the KDE Control Center.

HOWEVER, I CANNOT open links in openoffice.org writer documents with firefox. No matter how many times I have reset the KDE Control component to stipulate firefox as the default web browser on my system, opening links in open office documents ALWAYS results in a Konqueror browser opening.

If I then attempt to switch to a firefox browser, the system first downloads a file of the page in question and then opens the FILE with firefox. This is unacceptable. I want to be able to browse the web with firefox 3.5 located in my home directory without Konqueror as an intermediary. I do not want Konqui to open from inside openoffice documents AT ALL.

I have tried everything. Nothing works.

Please advise if there are any bug reports about this problem. I have been unable to find any discussions or resolutions of this problem anywhere.

Thank you!
