It appears that the Chrome installation (some one correct me if I'm 
throwing blame the wrong way) sets the default application to handle 
.html files to itself.

I opened nautilus and went to a *.html file, right clicked on it and 
then selected "Open with". From there I was able to chose Firefox again 
(Chrome had been selected). After this step (so far) Nautilus is opening 
my HTML files with the "right" browser.

HTH,
