I don't think so because this is what I get when running xdg-open:

    # this does not work:
    $ xdg-open http://gnu.org
    /home/mekeor/.guix-profile/bin/xdg-open: line 369: firefox: command not found
    /home/mekeor/.guix-profile/bin/xdg-open: line 369: mozilla: command not found
    /home/mekeor/.guix-profile/bin/xdg-open: line 369: netscape: command not found
    xdg-open: no method available for opening 'http://gnu.org'

    # this works just fine:
    $ BROWSER="icecat" xdg-open http://gnu.org

As you might have guessed, I do not use GNOME.

Did you try to set BROWSER environment variable?
