It may depend on what desktop you use. I use gnome, and the usual reason for this problem is that the setting in System->Preferences-> Preferred-Applications is set to point at the wrong browser name. I believe kde has a similar menu item somewhere, not certain. Possibly the name of your firefox binary was changed in the upgrade? Maybe an old symlink is pointing to an old (deleted) file?
