I am having the same problem as stated here
(https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/07/msg02095.html). I have
read the thread, but didn't seem to get a resolution. To recap: when I click on a link in Icedove, Firefox opens, but it doesn't go to the URL. It stays on the homepage (as if the link was not passed). Steps take so far: 1. Removed everything from update-alternatives for x-www-browser, and then added in firefox (only). 2. Running "x-www-browser www.google.com" works. Firefox opens, and it goes to google. (My home page is not google, FYI). 3. I have confirmed mailto links work. (Clicking a mailto: link opens a new email in icedove, and it is properly addressed). 4. I have confirmed that the network protocol handler is set to x-www-browser (default) in the preferences. (Preferences > Advanced > General > Config Editor). OS Information: Linux d7 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy) Release: 7.8 Codename: wheezy Desktop: XFCE Everything installed from repos except Firefox (obviously). Firefox is installed in /opt/firefox/. Executable is /opt/firefox/firefox, and the symlink in the path is /usr/local/bin/firefox. This all works with update-alternatives as noted before. --
