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,

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

No, I do not use kmail, I use icedove. Consequently all my settings described in my original post were to permit URLs in icedove emails to open in the iceweasel browser. These settings worked in Squeeze. I do not understand why they do not work in Wheezy or Jessie.
