Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pidgin

Maybe related to bug #239378

In Intrepid, Pidgin opens links in epiphany even though firefox is set
as the default.

In Tools -> Preferences -> Browser I have set:
Browser: Desktop Default
Open link in: Browser default
Manual: (disabled/greyed out) sensible-browser

I decided to remove epiphany to see what happened and it started opening
links in opera, except that it doesn't actually open the url, it just
opens up to the last page I viewed in opera.

$ apt-cache policy pidgin
