Yes, you did and you told icedove that you would be careful.  Shame Shame.

Now go back are change the network  handlers back to what they were. 
You did write down what they were before your mistake, right.

Then go to the Attachments tab and link for http and https.  To the 
right of each there is a down arrow to select the application to use for 
those applications.  I selected iceweasel for both.

You should read the manuals sometime before you try doing things you 
don't know about. Sure would save you having to request help so many 
times a day.

Best Regards
