Hum, sounds like the system's default mime definitions might be pointed to
Firefox in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list. What does "xdg-mime query
default text/html" return? The XO here returns 'firefox.desktop' even
without having the Firefox rpm installed. Not sure what the correct way of
overriding this list would be, create
"~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list", or maybe using "xdg-mime
default ..."? Both of those ideas would need a .desktop file for browse
thou.

Hope it helps,

Jerry
