"I can hear the bell but cannot tell which direction the sound is coming 
from." :-( . Meaning, that somewhere in the back of my mind something 
similar was mentioned before and the answer lay in setting the default 
applications option to the correct choice. For example, on my wife's 
computer Firefox would start when Nautilus was started. Selecting the 
correct default application fixed the problem. But, as I said, I 
remember this happening but cannot remember the *exact* details, sorry 
:-( . Do a search in Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/).
