If I'm getting it right, you are using Xfce, so first place you should look at is "exo-preferred-applications" [1] applet. It probably points to a "/usr/bin/sensible-browser" wrapper script to find a default browser among several "alternatives" links. "x-www-browser" is not the only default link for a browser, so you should also check "alternatives" for "gnome-www-browser", "www-browser" configs. Also check if environment variable named "$BROWSER" is set. It is not required to be set, but some console programs could rely on it and this is the first thing "sensible-browser" script uses to find your default browser. Probably because of installation of a "unsupported" firefox package "alternatives" for a browser were not changed, so you will have to create additional options for "alternatives" configs, so links would point to a right browser. Check out man page for "update-alternatives" to find out how to create new options for existing configs and manually switch between them.
