That depends on what it's installed.

The browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser config only affect gnome desktop, 
and after building from ports with WITH_SMB enabled (really, gnomevfs 
integration).

If you need a 'desktop integrated' browser, use the desktop default 
(epiphany) or the tools in the desktop to configure this (default 
apps).

You can't reach a Windows like DefaultBrowser concept here, sorry.
