I found x-www-browser, www-browser and gnome-www-browser.  I set them
all just in case.  I find the same result for gnome-www-browser as the
other, and even though I set it it has no effect.  So far, no matter
what I do I get epiphany, or opera if I uninstall epiphany.  BTW, I
also confirmed that the symlink in /etc/alternatives points to
firefox, which seems to indicate that the system is not even accessing
these links.
