This is really not a great idea. Browsers are not file managers, and you
shouldn't try to use them as file managers, because they're not designed to
manage files. Use dolphin, that's what it's for.

However, you can probably get Firefox to open text files in kwrite by going to
Edit->Preferences, selecting the Applications tab, and searching for "plain".
You'll see one row, "plain text document", and an action. Pick "use other"
for the action, then select /usr/bin/kwrite for the action.
