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 ā%uā 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,

Hi Ken!
If you use kmail, then you'll have to define icewesel in the prefered applications tab
in kcontrol.
