Possibly.. but doubtful.

First, make sure that your kcontrol setting are right. The File Associations
"General" tab must have Konqueror as the first one *and* the "Embedding" tab
must have the "show file in embedded viewer" radio button checked and KHTML
as the top one in the list.

If that doesn't work, then you might try nuking all of your mimelink settings
by hand and going back to the defaults. You can do this either wholesale or
piece by piece.

The wholesale route would look like so:

% rm -rf $HOME/.kde/share/applnk
% rm -rf $HOME/.kde/share/mimelnk
% rm -f $HOME/.kde/share/config/profilerc

Then logout and log back in.

The piece by piece route would look something like so:

% rm -f $HOME/.kde/share/mimelnk/text/html.desktop
% rm -f $HOME/.kde/share/applnk/System/kfm_client.desktop
% rm -f $HOME/.kde/share/applnk/Internet/mozilla.desktop

Logout and log back in.

For the record, I have *NO* clue why you are running into this problem at all.
I used to switch between web browsers very reqularily back in the day
(testing purposes) and never ran into this problem.
