Geary simply calls GTK+'s standard gtk_call_uri() function to load 
external links, which in the end looks for your preferred browser using 
the XDG standard.

If LXDE supports setting a default web browser, then setting one should 
enable this in Geary. If it doesn't, then you many need to set one 
manually using 'xdg-mime default ...'.
