Hmm, I don't know about the version of gnome in potato, but in sid
(gnome 1.4) you would open gnome control-center. Locate the URL handlers
entry under Document Handlers. For protocols "http" and "https" set
commands to use to < mozilla "%s" > or < galeon "%s" > (without the
arrows). Other things you can do: protocol ftp set to < gftp "%s" >,
mailto to evolution "%s" (this won't work for mozilla mailto: URLs
though, only galeon) if you have those installed.
