I'd like gnome-terminal to open links with the Chrome browser, but it insists on opening them with Firefox.

I've followed both pieces of advice found here without any success:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/gnome-terminal-default-browser-332934/

My OS is Ubuntu 10.04.

You should choose the default browser: Chromium Web Browser in your case.

Go to System --> Administration --> Preferred Applications

I had the same problem in Ubuntu 13.04, couldn't find an answer online (this question is the closest I found), and eventually fixed the problem by running:

gnome-control-center info

and using the 'default applications' in there to select my browser.

Control centers are very window manager specific. In newer gnome based releases gio can handle the mime handler settings, to set a handler for URLs use this command for instance:

gio mime x-scheme-handler/http chromium-browser.desktop
