Links are also displayed in console terminals and many other GUI based
apps (like IM, SIP, RSS...). In addition, you can find yourself in a
situation where you have to open plain "*.html" files located in your
desktop and not just links.
Anyway, if the "About" window link of KDE apps opens Firefox is because
Firefox is set as the default browser for your DE.
