(Get the code!)
I had the same problem on Intrepid with Opera: Firefox was configured as default in "preferred applications", but Opera ended up as "sensible-browser" via "x-www-browser".
Thom May's fix from above resolved this. (Thanks!)
From what I've read about this issue, I get the impression that calling "sensible-browser" on a Gnome platform is pretty much deprecated. Wouldn't it then make sense to automagically (re-) set "sensible-browser" to the one specified as default whenever either one is changed?
To me, the "right" place to set the default browser on Ubuntu seems to be via "preferred applications". And, as has been pointed out previously, when the two settings get out of sync things can become really confusing.
