Konqueror doesn't surf, but downloads a file locally

Hi,

Since a few days Konqueror doesn't surf the web anymore.
Instead, when I type in a URL it downloads the file locally and then displays it in a new window.

Does anyone have any idea what may cause this - and how I can fix it?
It is listed as first in the html file-associations.

Regards,
Steven

Check if you have a local override entry for text/html, i.e. if you have a file for html in .kde/share/mimelnk/text

If yes, delete it

Tried that, but that wasn't it.
I decided to rename the ~/.kde directory and after that it worked. By judiciously copying back files I found the problem.
The file ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
contained, in the [General] section the following entry:
BrowserApplication=kde-konqbrowser.desktop

After removing that line, the problem was solved.
