Strange - why would Mandrake do this?

You can try by-passing the Control Centre interface. For the most part, 
it is just a front-end to the many configuration files anyway.

The one you'll want is:

~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

Find the section headed "[General]"

and add the line:

BrowserApplication=!firefox

right after the section heading. If it already exists just change it to 
the above.

Hope this helps (not that I neccessarily approve of changing from 
Konqueror to Firefox - but that's a whole other debae ;) )

Regards,
Barry
