As you are running FC1, you are using Gnome 2.4. [1] I haven't used
Gnome 2.4 a lot so far, but AFAIK there are different GConf keys used
for http and https protocol.

Check out if the info provided in some of my recent posts regarding the
default browser will solve this issue:

Especially check the GConf keys in /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http and
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https. The GUI only sets the former.

Something like the following commands should get you going (untested
though, as I don't have Gnome 2.4 here):

$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command 'mozilla %s'
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/need-terminal false
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/enabled true

[1] Actually using KDE as a desktop doesn't matter here, cause Evolution
as a Gnome app only respects Gnome settings. Same for KDE vice versa...
