On my system it is set to ‘sensible-browser’ by default. The
sensible-utils facility is like the ‘lite version’ of the alternatives
facility.
I’m not entirely sure what relevance sensible-utils has versus the
alternatives system in the Debuntu world — it might be vestigal or it
might still do something that alternatives don’t. Either way, it’s
probably an upstream Debian change.
The best option is, as Colomban said, just to set it to x-www-browser
and use update-alternatives to configure that to Firefox, or just set
firefox directly. Of course, uninstalling Chrome is the obvious brute
force solution but I’m sure you want to test the HTML you are writing
across browsers.
Take care,
