I am running the 32-bit version of the new Firefox (v4) in Natty Beta #1

The simple solution would be running this as user:
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command \
"firefox %s"
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command \
"firefox %s"

Hope this is of some help.
