Problems launching URLs from KNewsTicker


I just installed Firefox 1.5 from an RPM that I built. Now, I can open links from software such as Evolution and other but when I try to launch urls from KNewsTicker the document is first cached on my machine and then opened. So, in the address bar, instead of a url such as http://www.blah.com, I get file:///var/tmp/blah blah which does not display properly if there is an external .css file nor does it display if the file is a .php file. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks.

open up kmenu editor and append '%u' with no quotes to all your browsers's commands.

Ex.

Firefox:
/usr/local/firefox/firefox %u

Opera:
opera %u

Konqueror:
kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing %u

This makes all KDE apps work correctly when passed URLs
