sensible-browser is a perl script coming along with Debian GNU/Linux. I'm
quoting the manual page (because it's so short):

       sensible-editor,  sensible-pager  and  sensible-browser  make  sensible
       decisions  on  which  editor,  pager,  and web browser to call, respec-
       tively.  Programs in Debian can use these scripts as their default edi-
       tor, pager, or web browser or emulate their behavior.

So a program can just call "sensible-browser" and the script will call the
preferred/installed browser of the user.
