Public bug reported:

In XFCE4 "Preferred Applications" chromium-browser is set as default.

Using "update-alternatives" chromium-browser is set as default.
# update-alternatives --get-selections | grep -i www-browser
gnome-www-browser              auto     /usr/bin/chromium-browser
x-www-browser                  manual   /usr/bin/chromium-browser

Now some links are opened in chromium-browser. (XFCE Terminal, XFCE
help....)

But lots of applications e.g. thunderbird, rxvt-unicode,... open the
http and https links in firefox.

Where does this behaviour come from.
