Thanks for the help.
It appears that the Chrome installation (some one correct me if
I'm
throwing blame the wrong way) sets the default application to handle
.html files to itself.
I came to the same conclusion :)
I opened nautilus and went to a *.html file, right clicked on it and
then selected "Open with". From there I was able to chose Firefox again
(Chrome had been selected). After this step (so far) Nautilus is opening
my HTML files with the "right" browser.
I eventually found that, too. I was blaming Nautilus for Chrome's
Naughty behavior.
