Hi,

Title:
  upgrade from lucid to maverick changes default browser to google
  chrome

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I had Firefox configured as my default browser on Ubuntu 10.04.

  I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 through the update manager, and Google
  Chrome became the default browser without ever asking me whether to
  keep the old preference or accept the new one. All user preferences
  should be preserved, and for any one that is recommended to be
  overwritten the user should be prompted whether to keep or change.

  During the upgrade process I was asked a few times regarding some
  configuration files, whether to keep my old settings or rewrite them
  with new default ones, but I ALWAYS chose "keep"; also, none of them
  looked like anything related to the browser.
