Component Chooser not working

I use firefox as my web browser and thunderbird as my mail client, and i have set them in the component chooser part of control center, but KDE is still not recognizing them and I don't get a browser window when I click on an url or a blank message when I click on a mailto: link...

Is there something else I need to do? I just run KDE on my gentoo laptop, but on my desktop system running Fedora, using Gnome's Preferred Applications program sets defaults that work in both Gnome and KDE. I don't want to install Gnome on my laptop for that little program, especially since I will have to compile everything, so how do I get KDE to work like it's supposed to and open firefox like a nice desktop environment?
It's all funy unti someone gets hurt.

Setting a default viewer for html files:

1. Open the control center
2. Go to KDE Components -> File Associations
3. Select, from the list: text -> html
4. Change the general or embedded prog to your liking
5. Apply changes

That should do it I guess.
