I've got Linux Mint Nadia, which is basically Ubuntu, which is built on Debian. Using the Desktop GUI I set my default browser, but Skype didn't seem to want to honour that request. So a quick check with update-alternatives showed me the way.
Just open a terminal and type in:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
There are 3 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/bin/epiphany-browser 85 auto mode
* 1 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/epiphany-browser 85 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/firefox 40 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 2
$
It was set on Epiphany, I selected Chromium. You can select whatever you want. Skype will fall in line. Hope this helps.
