To explore this bug

- booted a recent Lubuntu 19.04 install
- `xdg-open http://fridge.ubuntu.com` which caused firefox to open
- `sudo apt install chromium-browser`
- `chromium-browser http://fridge.ubuntu.com` & in settings found a 'make default' button which I clicked (a few times) noticing messages
- I exited chromium & executed the `xdg-open http://fridge..` & firefox re-started :(
