Public bug reported:
In my 'standard applications', Firefox is set as the default browser.
However, when clicking a link anywhere, or when using gnome-open or xdg-
open to open a link, the link will open in chromium. When midori was
installed, the link would open in that browser.
sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser didn't help either. The
default selection there is also firefox.
