If I set my browser to "Konqueror" and set "Open Link in" to "Browser
Default" and if I right-click on a link and choose "Launch Item in
Browser" it opens in Konqueror.

If I set my browser to "Firefox" and set "Open Link in" to "Browser
Default" and if I right-click on a link and choose "Launch Item in
Browser" it opens in Iceweasel.  This is because the Debian Iceweasel
package redirects /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/iceweasel.

So I set my browser to "x-www-browser" and set "Open Link in" to
"Browser Default" and if I right-click on a link and choose "Launch
Item in Browser" it opens in Firefox.  This is because I have
x-www-browser set to point to firefox through update-alternatives.

My browser selection doesn't seem to be getting ignored, but there are
some other reasons why it would launch a browser other than the one
you chose (Iceweasel instead of Firefox).

Do you have /usr/bin/x-www-browser symlinked to
/usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel?  If so, that is strange as it should be
pointing to /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser which then points to
whatever browser you're using and is configured through
update-alternatives.  At least that's the way it is on a default
Wheezy install.
