$ cat ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc 
MailReader=custom-MailReader
TerminalEmulator=xfce4-terminal
WebBrowser=opera

$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
opera.desktop

$ locate \.desktop | grep -i opera
/home/juan/.local/share/xfce4/helpers/opera.desktop
/usr/share/applications/opera.desktop
/usr/share/xfce4/helpers/opera-browser.desktop

I have uninstalled Opera, reinstalled it and selected it as a favorite. It
keeps failing.
When I open the browser selector in "Preferred Applications" I get 2 entries
for Opera: "Navegador web Opera"
(/usr/share/xfce4/helpers/opera-browser.desktop) and "Opera"
(/usr/share/applications/opera.desktop).

/usr/share/xfce4/helpers/opera-browser.desktop is installed in Arch Linux with
the "exo" package. 
But the correct .desktop file is the one that installs the Opera package:
/usr/share/applications/opera.desktop

I have changed the title of the error and raised its "severity" and "priority"
because the problem is more general. When I click the middle mouse button on a
URL in xfce4-terminal it also opens Firefox instead of Opera.
