Is that hapenning only when the links are open from Icedove or the 
problem remains when clicking over a link from gnome-terminal, Evolution, 
Kmail... or another application?

Also, does it work for e-mail links (e.g., "mailto:user@example.com";)?

I cannot locate a bug in Debian BT similar to yours :-?

By the way, what desktop o window manager are you using?

I would first try by launching icedove from a new user, different than 
your usual one to discard something wrong within your current profile.
