Ok, make uninstall seems to have disabled it, but the directories are all 
still there.  Is it Ok to delete them?

I'm using KDE.  To make Mozilla my default browser, I went to File 
Associations. Under I found html under the "text" section of "known types" 
and added Mozilla Navigator (the command line being just "mozilla").  Then I 
actually just removed the other programs listed there.  I think only 
Kommander was listed there.  For whatever reason there are 2 html file type 
listings, so I did this under both.  By the way, trying to add Kommander back 
in doesn't work.  In fact, if I even click on the Kommander Web Browser icon, 
nothing happens.   I can, of course, open Kommander and then type in an 
address and it will work.

KMail is the email client program I am using.

Clicking on hyperlinks within Mozilla works.  But if the hyperlink is in any 
other application, it won't work.  Mozilla opens on a blank page.
