Preferred Applications does not update default browser properly (xdg-open)

Description
Steps to reproduce:
- have Firefox
- install Chrome
- now, when running xdg-open http://google.com, you'll get Chrome
- go to all settings -> preferred application -> select Firefox (if it wasn't already selected).
- run again xdg-open http://google.com => you'll get Chrome
- optionally, I tried to swtich to Chrome then back to Firefox from Preferred Applications. Same result.
If I have Firefox set as my default Browser, I'd expect the URL to be opened by Firefox. This affects several programs which rely on xdg-open command. One example is IRC xchat2.
