Title:
Software-center opens wrong browser when the Programmer's website is
clicked on the aplication view
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Although I'm not a programmer I did a little research on the bug.
The software-center uses the python module webbrowser to open the url
which should always open the correct browser, but in my system it open
Chromium instead of Firefox.
checked with:
gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command
firefox %s
So I opened a python console and tested the
webbrowser.open('google.com') and still opens chromium instead of
firefox.
Browsing through the webbrowser module's source code found the in
gnome environments it tries to use the gnome-open command which is not
available in Precise Pangolin. When installed the needed packages
everything works as expected.
Thus I'm almost sure that the problem isn't in the Software Center but
I've reached the limit of my skills to track down this small bug and
decided to report it here where I first detected it.
Hope that my research can help someone to fix the bug.
