you need to install gnome-control-center, which contains that tool. If
you don't want to do that, open gconf-editor, and edit the entries in
the /desktop/gnome/applications/browser section.

If you don't have gconf-editor, you can set the values with gconftool-2.
The entries to set are:

/desktop/gnome/applications/browser/nremote -> boolean
/desktop/gnome/applications/browser/needs_term -> set it to false
/desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec -> set it to 'firebird'
