There are 2 things you can do here: 

- gnome takes its default browser from the Internet Preference Panel
which has the annoying habit of falling back to IE any time it wants to,
even if you told it to use a different web browser. There are a couple
of remedies for this, but this is really OT, and you can find info about
it at various places on the net. In any case, start by choosing a
different web browser in the Web part of this preference pane.

- You can tell gnome to use a different program than openurl to open
URLs. In  the gnome settings menu, there is an item "Document handlers
-> URL handlers", and there you can replace the default openurl (if you
have the openurl package installed) by another program like lynx or
mozilla (dunno if this really works, haven't tested this, but
gnome-moz-helper is one of the choices proposed).
