Given Ubuntu (and thus presumably unity), this may not help you a whole 
lot, but FWIW...

Firefox is my default browser, and it opens fine from pan.  But as I run 
a kde desktop, I have pan's web browser setting set to "Use KDE 
Preferences" (with kde in turn set to firefox as default browser).  As 
they say, "works for me." =:^)

(And if for some reason it didn't work, kde's klipper is setup to popup a 
menu with a bunch of choices including firefox and various net debugging 
commands such as traceroute, tcptraceroute and mtr, should I select a 
bunch of text that generally fits a URL or simply an IP address pattern.  
So if pan's direct click-launch broke, I could simply select the URL and 
choose firefox or whatever from the resulting klipper popup. =:^)
