Agreed.

I think you wanted:
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/bin/mozilla 90

To install this set of links:
/usr/bin/x-www-browser -> /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser -> /usr/bin/mozilla

Try ls -l /etc/alternatives, and see what sensible-browser and
x-www-browser point to.  If they're wrong, either set the links
manually, or futz about with the interface some more.

I could easily be wrong, though - this interface is one of Debian's more
hackish moments, I've always felt.  I've just never come up with
anything smarter, so I've left it alone.

HTH,
