which causes these warnings when running ‘update-desktop-database’:
$ sudo update-desktop-database
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop": usage of MIME type
"x-scheme-handler/http" is discouraged (the use of "x-scheme-handler" as media
type is strongly discouraged in favor of a subtype of the "application" media
type)
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop": usage of MIME type

If I remove the x-scheme-handler types from
/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop and rerun ‘update-desktop-
database’, the problem goes away, and gnome-open lets me use my
preferred web browser again.
** Package changed: libgnome (Ubuntu) => firefox (Ubuntu)

gnome-open uses firefox while it's not the preferred browser
