Thanks!
It's a bit strange, that text/html is for .htm and .html files, but it decides the default browser, when just clicking an URL like www.linuxquestions.org, without any .html
You have to register mozilla in your file type registry first - how?
1. rigth click on some html document
2. second option from below "Edit File Type ..."
3. "Add ..."
than choose the path to mozilla (my one is under /usr/local/bin/mozilla)
4. optionally select an associated icon to the program, by clicking on the icon space
5. you can use this menu to place mozilla on top
6. don't forget the %u (it say url)
you should probably restart the file-browser so the settings take effect. I'm not quite sure, but at least with kde-3.1 I had to do this.
Now it should work.
unfortunately if you have mozilla open you are prompted to use another profile...
I will write a script but first I'll test the debian wrapper, as there is an option to open the link in the already started mozilla ;-)

I was having the same problem. I use Ice Weasel, but even though every time it started I clicked on the dialog to make it the default browser, Konqueror remained the default. Then someone in another thread gave me the tip that allowed me to change it. Log on as root, or as a super user and from the root, run the following:
It should produce an output that gives you all the browsers installed on your computer and allow you to choose which one you want. On my system I got this:
There are 2 alternatives which provide `x-www-browser'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
* 1 /usr/bin/iceweasel
+ 2 /usr/bin/konqueror
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number:
This is the results after I ran the command. You can see that Iceweasel is now the default.
Hope this helps. I'm running Debian 4 with KDE as the default desktop.
