Arch/lKDE4 Desktop URL Shortcuts Default Browser
 
I built a computer for my daughter. It is Arch. I put desktop URL shortcuts to all of her favorite cartoon websites. When clicking on them they open in Chromium. I want them to open in firefox. I even have the default browser set to firefox, but when you click on the desktop shortcuts, they open in Chromium, then I get the Chromium message asking if I want to make Chromium my default web browser. Do you know how to make them open in firefox?

What is the content of the .desktop files?

I was able to edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list to tell it to use firefox. Thanks for your help!
