I confirm this bug on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, `gnome-
terminal-2.30.2-0ubuntu`. I was switching back from Chromium to Firefox,
but Gnome Terminal kept opening Chromium windows. It affects also Pidgin
and some other Gnome applications.

- System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications have no effect
- In gconf-editor, all /desktop/gnome/url-handlers point to the new browser, no effect
- `x-www-browser` and `gnome-www-browser` point to the new brower, no effect

This Debian bug is relevant and offers a workaround:

To workaround the problem I added these lines to
~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list:

x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop
