Given Ubuntu (and thus presumably unity), this may not help you a whole
lot, but FWIW...
Firefox is my default browser, and it opens fine from pan. But as I run
a kde desktop, I have pan's web browser setting set to "Use KDE
Preferences" (with kde in turn set to firefox as default browser). As
they say, "works for me." =:^)
(And if for some reason it didn't work, kde's klipper is setup to popup a
menu with a bunch of choices including firefox and various net debugging
commands such as traceroute, tcptraceroute and mtr, should I select a
bunch of text that generally fits a URL or simply an IP address pattern.
So if pan's direct click-launch broke, I could simply select the URL and
choose firefox or whatever from the resulting klipper popup. =:^)
