Public bug reported:

crown-beach-config sets midbrowser as the default URL handler for HTTP
URLs. It needs to do the same for HTTPS URLs.

I noticed that Liferea can open HTTP URLs in the browser, but not HTTPS
URLs (like articles from the Ubuntu Fridge, which is one of the default
Liferea feeds). The problem is that Firefox is the default browser, and
we override it for HTTP URLs only.

To reproduce:
gnome-open http://www.google.com (works)
gnome-open https://www.google.com (doesn't work)

To fix, add this to debian/postinst:
su - ume -c "gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command 
'midbrowser %s'"
