Before Wheezy clicking on a URL in an icedove email would cause the URL to open in iceweasel. With Wheezy and Jessie I can no longer do so. Now I have to copy the URL from the email, open iceweasel and then enter it myself in the iceweasel address line.
In one computer I have Wheezy, TDE 14.0.2, icedove 38.4.0 and iceweasel 38.5.0. Update-alternatives --config x-www-browser points to iceweasel %u as the default. In addition file ~/mozilla/icedove/9vgk89rr.default/user.js contains the following two lines:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "iceweasel %u"); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "iceweasel %u")
Removing the ‘%u’ where I had it has no effect; so I kept them.
I also ran in my user the command
xdg-mime default iceweasel.desktop x-scheme-handler/http \ x-scheme-handler/https
also to no effect.
Am I missing something else required to open URLs in icedove emails automatically in iceweasel?
I have the same problem with another computer with Jessie instead of Wheezy, but I do not have access to that one at this time.
Compliments of the season and thanks in advance for any help provided,
Ken Heard
