It is indeed about pidgin. All online service related applications have a browser settings which specified the default browser for the application to use for opening links in the text. In still laymen terms, when you send a link to your friend on IM and when the friend clicks on the link, the link is opened in the browser as specified in the browser settings. If there is no option for browser settings then the application might use the default browser of the desktop environment (which is set using preferred applications). If there is a browser settings, then it is used as the preferred browser to open the links.

I will check Pidgin in Hardy and confirm (or fix released) this bug asap.
