There's a longish thread on a similar theme here:

Basically, you may have to change not just text/html but also x-scheme-
handler and possibly other stuff (I can't be bothered reading through
it all again, even though I was the OP). This is as clear as mud and
the XDG docs don't go out of their way to make it understandable, but I
did get there in the end. I use KDE but presumably this would also work
for you.
