Help Restoring ICS stock browser as default?

After playing with Dolphin for a while, I decided I prefer the stock browser. Dolphin is not default according to its settings, but some emailed links still open it (while -oddly enough- others open the stock browser).

I searched but the system-wide setting I found in older threads no longer exists in ICS as far as I can tell.

Before I resort to installing an app to set the browser or uninstalling Dolphin, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for your time.
 
Thanks, that did it. I went to Settings > Apps > All > Dolphin Browser HD and found a section that read LAUNCH BY DEFAULT You've chosen to launch this app by default for some actions with a Clear Defaults button below.

I'm still an Android newbie and what threw me off is that Dolphin's in-app Set as default browser setting was unchecked. I was expecting a system-wide browser setting (similar to what was described in the pre-ICS threads about this) in the general Settings rather than a second spot for a Dolphin-specific default setting.
 
Keep in mind this is the same solution anytime you change out a stock app with a third party one. Launchers (home replacements like GoLauncher and LauncherPro) are a big one.
