+Know issue: When using gwibber, links that are opened in an external
+browser may not open. Running gwibber from the command line will most
+likely give you a similar error like the following.
+
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gwibber/client.py", line 757, in <lambda>
+ actHelpOnline.connect("activate", lambda *a: gintegration.load_url("https://answers.launchpad.net/gwibber"))

+This is most likely a link to a nonexistent firefox directory that hasn't
+been updated by GConf upon firefox upgrades. You can verify this by running:
+
+gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command
+
+This command should return something like:
+
+/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.2/firefox "%s"
+
+You can use the symlink to firefox instead, as to avoid future issues
+with firefox upgrades. To use the symlinks run the following commands.
+Change commands for lib64 where appropriate.
+
+gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command '/usr/lib/firefox/firefox "%s"'
+gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command '/usr/lib/firefox/firefox "%s"'
+gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp/command '/usr/lib/firefox/firefox "%s"'
+gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/chrome/command '/usr/lib/firefox/firefox "%s"'
