I neither use KDE, nor Iceweasel but usually browsers have an option to
set them as the default, for Firefox 22.0 it's

perhaps it's the same for Iceweasel.

For my Xfce the default is set to Firefox, but it's ignored if I click a
link in Evolution, since I set up Opera as the default, when Opera ask
me. After I set the Xfce settings to anther browser and back to Firefox,
the default is Firefox again.

Seemingly the DE settings and the editing done by a browser could be in
competition.

Google found

"Desktop Settings/Personalised Settings -> Default Applications -> Web
Browser -> Change to 'in the following broswer' -> browse for firefox"

within seconds.
