I had this issue, except it was always using Konqueror.
If you run (as root) update-alternatives --config x-www-browser you
should get the option to pick mozilla-firefox as the default (system
wide).
dclarke@halifax:~/torrents$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
There are 3 alternatives which provide `x-www-browser'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
+ 1 /usr/bin/konqueror
* 2 /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox
3 /usr/bin/mozilla
Then, just make sure in GNOMES prefered application settings you have
it set to firefox as well or just debian sensible browser, which uses
the default you've picked.
