How to switch default xdg-open .... 'Web Browser' to firefox?


OpenBox, obmenu-generator for menu, it is using SeaMonkey for default xdg web browser, How do I change that to firefox without having to hard code it in their pl file?

Code:
{item => ['xdg-open http://', 'Web Browser', 'web-browser']},
I looked in MIME editor but nope. that not how to do it.
