--- Comment #1 from alexxcons <alexxcons at xfce.org> ---
Thanks for reporting!
Thunar uses "gtk_show_about_dialog" for its about dialog. Like that instead of
"exo-open", some gtk default will be used to open the URL.
I dont know where the gtk default browser can be set .. possibly the default
xdg browser is used ?
What is the outcome of "xdg-settings get default-web-browser" for you ?
Does it help to set it to Firefox ?
xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox-esr.desktop

If setting the xdg default helps, I guess "Preferred Applications" as well
should set the xdg default browser, not only the default for "exo-open"
