What does the following do? (as your local user)
xdg-open https://www.debian.org/
If that opens Debian's Homepage in Iceweasel, the xdg-mime

If not, I'm unsure what the cause is.

Could you check Icedove configuration?
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Tab: General -> Config Editor
-> "I know what I'm doing"
then see what the settings are for (as far as they exist):
network.protocol-handler.app.http
network.protocol-handler.app.https
network.protocol-handler.expose-all
network.protocol-handler.expose.http
network.protocol-handler.expose.https
network.protocol-handler.external.http
network.protocol-handler.external.https
Christian
