As of 15.10, I've noticed that support for at least browser (SeaMonkey) seems to be respected in all applications besides 1) alternative browsers and 2) Thunderbird, which chooses Firefox no matter what, even if you make a change. As a result, I just quit using Thunderbird. I'm not sure if changes

Ok this made the trick for me. Usually, when you install any new browser these values are overriden, and you have to set them again. Maybe it would be a good idea if these values were automatically updated when you change your default browser using "settings > preferred applications". sudo
