Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

GNOME has the ability to choose the default browser to use when opening a *URL*, but this setting should also apply to html *files* as well. Currently, the two settings are separate. This is confusing when the user changes their default browser, and then opens an HTML file on her filesystem and finds it opening in a browser that is not her default.

Just as a note, Launchpad was being very flaky when I submitted this report, so I was unable to search for duplicates before submitting it. So you should check for dupes before doing anything for this bug.
