Firefox-x11 is not a Aqua application, and so it being installed
doesn't make a difference at all. You cannot set it as default for
anything Aqua related. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the
decentralized, capability-but-not-policy of X11. All links from Aqua
applications will go to the default browser, which is not firefox-
x11. It should open Safari or OmniWeb or FireFox (real firefox, not
the fink version), or whatever browser you have installed.
Does this make sense?

When I click an http:// url link (e.g. from the About menu in an

I do have firefox-x11 installed.
Any ideas why this isn't working and where I can configure default
actions for MIME types?
Thanks, Gianni
