This may not be a problem with KiCad or even the Documents, but I need a place to start. When using the help menu to open the Eeschema or KiCad Manuals they open in the editor KompoZer that had been installed long before either Eeschema or KiCad. In example /usr/share/doc/kicad/help/en/eeschema.html will open in the KompoZer HTML editor. The Properties of eeschema.html are set to open FireFox web browser according to nautilus file manager. Doing a Google search on the problem only results in how to install KompoZer a program left over from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS but I keep in 14.04.5 as it is easy to use. I don't believe KompoZer is any longer supported, so I need to figure out how to troubleshoot this problem. If someone could get me started this would be great! Thanks James

Not sure if this is the right answer, but is seems to work. I am hoping by running the command in only the directory /usr/share/doc/kicad/help/en this will not effect the root drive or path. Anyway the answer was found as the question "How do I set the default file association in Ubuntu Nautilus to something that is not listed in the Open With tab?" in Ask Ubuntu by souravc.

The command I ended up using was /usr/share/doc/kicad/help/en$ mimeopen -d *.html and my choice was the generic ubuntu Browser selection form the selections (not all enumerated)

Please choose a default application for files of type text/html

1) Browser  (webbrowser-app)
2) winebrowser  (wine-extension-htm)
3) Luakit  (luakit)
4) KompoZer  (kompozer)
5) Opera  (opera)
6) Firefox ESR  (firefox-esr)
7) Firefox Web Browser  (firefox)
8) Google Chrome  (google-chrome)
9) Geany  (geany)

I do not know however what the following generated messages mean or if it is a concern? But the Documents seem to no longer open in KopoZer web page editor! Perhaps someone could enlighten me about the latter as I have much to learn:-)
