Firefox slow to open html file from konqueror

I am new to KDE, but have been having some annoying problems. One of them was getting firefox to open as default for html files in konqueror. After a while I set up firefox to be associated with text/html files and set the string to "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox %u".

On sites like "http://people.fruitsalad.org/phil/kde/userguide-tng/customizing-kde.html" I read that %u would input a "single URL" and %f would input a "single file name".

I then set up text/html to open with "echo %u" and the output was "/home/admin/old-website/5132d79.html"

I then set up text/html to open with "echo %f" and the output was "/home/admin/old-website/5132d79.html"

Now if %u was ment to be a URl, should the output not be file://home/admin/old-website/5132d79.html''

I then found out that if firefox was opened with "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox file:/%u" it would be fast as normal.

Am I missing something in my uderstanding here or is it standard for a url (that %u is said to return), have file:// on the frount?
