Bug Description

I am using Opera as my default browser. To use the webapps, I installed two of them (facebook and launchpad) via Firefox. However, if I try to launch these apps from the dash, noting happens.

When I set Firefox as my default browser in the system settings, I can launch the webapps.

I assume that the unity-webapps-runner looks for the default browser, since webapps are meant to work in either Chromium or Firefox. This leads to issues when none of these two is the default browser. Maybe there should be a fallback, so that Firefox is used when neither Chromium nor Firefox are set as default.
