I'm sorry that I am not in front of my Ubunto computer right now, so I may
be off on the names.

On the top of the screen, try going to the menu System > Preferences >
Preferred Applications.  You should be able to set which application
should handle web links.  Select firefox from the drop-down box.  Make
sure the drop-down box does NOT say custom.
