Either or both should work if the x-www.browser is set to iceweasel, as it is in the box I am using. In fact setting both to "x-www-browser" should be better, thereby leaving it up to the user to determine the browser using update-alternatives to choose one. So it would appear that it is an icedove problem. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Should a bug report be filed?
