Setting only x-scheme-handler/http[s] may not be sufficient.
To check what is returned as default browser, I suggest:
xdg-settings get default-web-browser
xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler http
xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler https
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https
for i in application/x-extension-html application/x-extension-shtml
application/x-extension-xhtml application/xhtml+xml text/html; do
xdg-mime query default $i
done
To set e.g. chrome as default browser, this is what I use:
(assuming that the .desktop file normally in /usr/share/applications
is called google-chrome.desktop, you may need to adapt if it's called
differently)
browser="google-chrome.desktop"
xdg-settings set default-web-browser $browser
xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler http $browser
xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler https $browser
xdg-mime default $browser x-scheme-handler/http
xdg-mime default $browser x-scheme-handler/https
xdg-mime default $browser x-scheme-handler/about
for i in application/x-extension-html application/x-extension-shtml
application/x-extension-xhtml application/xhtml+xml text/html; do
xdg-mime default $browser $i
done
(the for loop at the end is really only necessary if you also want
your browser to be the default viewer for .html files and such)
Then repeat all the checks from above again and verify
that everything returns google-chrome ...
