What I've done is configure "everything" (in my case that means urxvt,
Konsole, Emacs, Thunderbird and not much else) to use x-www-browser and
then I use update-alternatives to configure what that means. Firefox in
my case.
I guess this can still work when using a non-Debian browser like
Vivaldi, maybe some extra work is needed to make update-alternatives
aware of Vivaldi, I don't really know.
