I noticed today the same thing. Clicking on links in pidgin no longer 
worked for since at least a few weeks. When I looked inside pidgin to 
Configure Browser it brought me to the same dialog with an 
/opt/firefox*/firefox instead. However I never had an 
/opt/firefox*.

I might have tested one of Mozilla's binaries in the past, but never in 
/opt/firefox*/firefox and I certainly did not change it manually.

Is it possible some bug in Mozilla does this automatically when. eg 
Firefox was set to be the default and then the Mozilla build automatically 
replaces it with what it thinks is its location (/opt/firefox*) ?
