As mentioned in the Bug #562476, comment #5, see [1] for details : "Yes, it's the same issue for sensible-browser too.
This is a long-standing issue, and it is well known that the alternatives system sucks for this type of thing. The alternatives system is not a user-configurable preference, but is a system-wide preference that can only be configured by the root user.
