Public bug reported:

This affects at the least
apport (who cares - previous -  bug 837518
Thunderbird
Software-center

To test:
Install chromium-browser - it will be set on auto mode in  update-alternatives  x-www-browser

Open a link in Software Center  - firefox will still be used
Open a link in Thunderbird - chromium-browser will be used

The only way to change the behavior of either Sc or Tb will be to
manually set to desired in 'update-alternatives --config  x-www-browser'
,  changing the default in g-c-c has no effect in these instances
