    If you are running Gnome, Menu->Preferences->More
    Preferences->Prefered Applications should allow you to change the
    default browser. Don't know about KDE. Strange that .rpms seem to be
    associated with RealPlayer... You should be able to change that in
    the FireFox Preferences on the Downloads screen.
