I just ran iceweasel to check, it /thinks/ its the default! But in /etc/alternatives www-browser -> lynx and x-www-browser -> vivaldi
as I suspected the alternatives. Mine got corrupted via google-chrom installation. It took me a while as I already mentioned to get it properly setup. After all I have never messed up with update-alternatives and its logic
I usually extract latest firefox in /opt/custom
I do ln -s /opt/custom/firefox-VERSION /opt/custom/firefox
After chrome installed, it was setup to chrome, so I had to clean up and set up alternative for the custom firefox
update-alternatives --install /etc/alternatives/firefox \ x-www-browser /opt/custom/firefox/firefox 300 update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /opt/custom/firefox/firefox
For the TDE applications you can set it via the Control Center as you pointed time ago.
I never become a friend to iceweasel as well, but firefox is great. It requires though a manual update of flashplayer, but it is also 2-3 commands in the console
