Hi,
In XFCE my default webbrowser is set to Firefox. However, I have an ungoogled chromium installed as a backup browser.
Since a few weeks Gnome Evolution and Runelite open links in chromium. Especially in Evolution this is very annoying.
Other apps, like Steam, Discord and Franz still open links in Firefox.
Attempted tests/solutions:
running the command "xdg-open http://www.duckduckgo.com" opens the URI in Firefox, as expected.
Based on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=247094 I've checked .config/mimeapps.list, but this isn't an issue either
Does anybody have any suggestions?

How did you set Firefox as default browser?
Does Firefox confirm it is the default browser in its settings?
What does the Xfce settings manager (xfce4-settings-manager) show at "Preferred Applications"?

If you didn't already, try adding the following lines to ~/.config/mimeapps.list under the [Default Applications] section:
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop
I was having the same problem and this is what fixed it. If it still doesn't work then we can compare our mimeapps.list files, maybe there's another line affecting it. I have the following lines that reference Firefox:
