I also have Chromium set as default, and software-center opened the
website in Chromium. However the code uses the webbrowser python module,
which should open the default browser UNLESS there is a BROWSER
environment variable set, in which case the browser preference list is
overridden by this. I have tried setting the BROWSER variable, and in
that case software-center did open the sites in Firefox indeed.

So to check whether you also have a BROWSER variable set, type in the
terminal 'echo $BROWSER' (and please post the output here).  To clear
the environment variable use the terminal command 'unset BROWSER'.
Please comment the result after trying these.
