Bug Description
-------
Bug summary: Seems that a script in gnome-control-
Recommend using another script to execute the "default" browser in update-manager.
-------
I fired up Update Manager to check what fixes were waiting - decided to have a look at the related Launchpad report against one of the kernel updates... instead of opening up a tab in Firefox as I expected, it started another program called the "Gnome Web Browser". In turn, this messed up my audio playback - I had to reboot to get my audio back. This affected ALL audio playback whether from my browser or from other audio apps (Totem, Rhythmbox etc).
I tested with iPlayer - and while I could watch images, there was no audio at all until I rebooted.
I have Firefox set as my default browser in System Preferences - surely this option should be used by all apps requesting web-page output?
What was concerning was - I had Firefox open at the time -
Expected behaviour... that the Launchpad page would open up in a new tab within Firefox.
Please fix.

I was unable to reproduce this issue in Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64. When I clicked on the Launchpad report in Update Manager, it pulled up in Firefox with no issues.
