[Bug 353372] Re: BOINC patch 003 launches the wrong browser

hmm - when I added that desktop image, my comment was erased.

I inadvertantly typed "preferred-browser" in comment 6 where I meant to
put sensible-browser.

Indeed, sensible-browser brings up firefox as expected since $BROWSER is
set to firefox.  However, the gnome default web page is (as shown in
image) epiphany and clicking on the project url button brings up
epiphany instead of firefox.

If I select firefox for the default gnome browser (system - preferences
- default applications), nothing get launched.  The default install of
ubuntu 8.1 seemingly thru 9.1 seeming does not allow firefox to be
brought up with boincmgr.  This was also noticed when Dotsch_UX 1.2 was
built by the author.
