Comment 14 for bug 43905

i've just discovered that if you allow firefox to set itself as the preferred web browser then it sets several of the url-handler gconf keys such as http, https, ftp, gopher, and chrome. this causes ftp bookmarks in nautilus to open in firefox. if you set the preferred web browser back to the default value via gnome preferred applications, the ftp url-handler is left as firefox. i'm not so sure i expect setting my preferred *web browser* to firefox to also set my preferred *ftp client* to firefox... hope this helps.
