I found the following in /etc/icedove/pref/icedove.js:
// if you are not using gnome
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "x-www-browser");
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "x-www-browser");
Don't remember how these settings came in there, but I think you can
also set them in user.js or prefs.js in your profile directory.
