Me?
I had a similar problem as Gene did. Since the Debian switch from iceweasel to
firefox I always copied the URL and then pasted/go into the URL field. That was
inconvenient.
man firefox
And since Gene's e-mail header mentions kmail as his e-mail client I thought
he must be using KDE same as I. Looking in Kmail setup did not come up with
any mention of a browser. Jörg-Volker's hint didn't work either for me [thank
you anyway] so I looked into the KDE System Settings. Browser is an
application, no?
So under "Applications" I found "Web Browser" - it was still set to "iceweasel
$1" so voila.
Have a nice day/night

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it
is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It
isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
