Update-manager is using the code x-www-browser to open the "default" browser. Unfortunately, the preference settings GUI is not really changing the "default" browser in x-www-browser. As long as epiphany is installed it has preference over other browsers when executing the command x-www-browser. When using other programs that do not initiate x-www-browser, preferred browser will launch.

Try this in a terminal to confirm:

x-www-browser

Did it open firefox or epiphany?
