firefox opens links from file:///var/tmp/

Using kdemod with Firefox set as default browser, when I click a link in Kmail, an IRC client, or Kerry Firefox doesn't go out onto the internet it opens the link from the address file:///var/tmp/*. At some point the computer is retrieving text from the internet and creating the tmp file, but I get a really ugly page with no images at all and a really poor layout.

This only affects my login. I've compared the entries in the Control Center --> KDE Components --> File Associations for html between logins and everything seems to be setup the same. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Re: firefox opens links from file:///var/tmp/

what about kcontrol > kde components > components chooser > web browser?  Is that set to your preferred browser?

*edit*
After re-reading your post I am not sure if the above has anything to do w/ it.
