Hi,

Maybe should you run gnome-control-center, go to Advanced->Preferred=20
Applications and set Web Browser to "Debian Sensible Browser".

If it doesn't work, you can also manually edit=20
$HOME/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/%gconf.xml


Gnome-terminal being the only Gnome application I use, it's been quite a=20
suprise to discover that the default behaviour is to launch epiphany=20
(which I haven't installed) for http/https urls. It would have saved me=20
some time if the default browser had been sensible-browser.

Therefore, I suggest to replace epiphany with sensible-browser in=20
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/desktop_gnome_url_handlers.schemas=20
(libgnomevfs2-common package).

Regards,
