Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Default installation of Ubuntu Karmic, installed openoffice.org (actually, it probably came preinstalled) and firefox (also pre-installed).

Clicking on links embedded in a document prompts openoffice.org to state that a default browser wasn't specified.

As a matter of interoperability, can't openoffice.org open the default browser set (or rather, firefox, if there's no "default browser" setting)?
