You're right about T-bird, it took an extension to get it to use Chrome.
But I've had it happen with software that has no such configuration. For

* There are zero references to Firefox (nor Mozilla, for that
matter) to be found in the Mime Type Editor.
* 'exo-open --launch WebBrowser' launches Chrome
* 'update-alternatives' shows Chrome as the "auto mode" default,
although there's a manual mode available (not tried that yet)
* There are no in-app preferences for default browsers in the apps
What am I missing?
Thanks.
