Re: iceweasel always requesting to be default browser

So what is your default browser? Do you have iceweasel set as the

update-alternatives report?
Okay, I'm using Gnome and in the preferred applications settings or
whatever it's called in english it says custom with the command to run
the application set to "/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox "%s". When I set it
to iceweasel in the dropdown menu and start iceweasel, it gives me the
"I'm not your default browser, buhu"-crap again. And when I confirm to
let the app set itself as default the etnry in the default app-settings
from Gnome are as they were in the beginning.
So apparently everything is fine but iceweasel doesn't detect that the
entry it made itself is actually iceweasel as the default rather than
some other program. easiest workaround for now would be to just disable
the warning in iceweasel, butr the underlying problem wouldn't be solved
by that, now would it?
Assuming that you guys don't really now what to do to change this
behaviour either, apart from filing a bug report to change the source, I
have only one more question: Where should I file this, is it a debian
related problem, firefox or Gnome?
Thanks again.
P.S.: I've never used update-alternatives before but couldnt really
figure out how to use it in my case from the man page. I did
#update-alternatives --display firefox
#update-alternatives --display /usr/bin/firefox
#update-alternatives --display /usr/bin/firefox
#update-alternatives --display browser
and they all returned no alternatives for $command
