Two Problems with KDE 3.5.6

KDE 3.5.6 didn't handle my wireless USB connection well. I'm using it in Kubuntu 7.04. I couldn't find clear instructions, and some of the settings I entered (like password) got screwed up. I had to get on-line help and use the terminal mode.

I've also had trouble setting Firefox as my default browser. The KDE GUI wouldn't do it. Again, I had to get on-line help and solve the problem using the terminal.

Question: Do newer versions of KDE solve these problems? If I install a newer version, will it screw up my settings again?

Thank you!

For the connection, it has more to do with your distro than it does with KDE.
As for Firefox... I used KDE 3.5.1, 3.5.6 and 3.5.7, and never had problems with it as default browser. What you can try doing though, is right clicking an HTML file, Open With... > Other... > Pick Firefox from the list of apps or type 'firefox', and tick 'Remember association application for this type of file'.
If you still have problems, you can try doing the association manually:
Open the Personal Settings module (K Menu/Kickoff - search for "Personal Settings", "Configure Desktop" or simply search for/run "kcontrol"), go to KDE Components > File Associations, search for "html", open the "text" tree and click "html". On the right you should be able to control what apps can handle HTML files, just make sure you have Firefox there and it's on the top.
