Assuming you're using a GNOME desktop, open Preferred Applications from
GNOME's panel menu.  It's under System -> Preferences.  There you can
select which web browser to use by default.  Evolution will honor that.

If you're on another FreeDesktop-compliant desktop such as KDE, follow
their procedure for choosing a default web browser.  Evolution should
honor that too.
