--- Begin Message ---Package: icedove Version: 24.0-1 Severity: normal I fresh icedove installation doesn't know how to open http links in emails. Instead, it requires me to use a file system dialog to dig my way down to /usr/bin/something, which is very unfriendly and slow. Given that Debian has a standard for this (x-www-browser), this could be configured by default.

I have installed various new systems in the past (Wheezy and now also Jessie) with Gnome as DE and all these installations opened included URLs correctly with the associated browser. Over many versions the default setting for the x-www-browser didn't change, it's set up in /etc/icedove/icedove.js. > // This is the Debian specific preferences file for Mozilla Thunderbird > // You can make any change in here, it is the purpose of this file. > // You can, with this file and all files present in the directory > // > // /etc/icedove/pref directory > // > // override any preference that is present in the directory > // > // /usr/lib/icedove/defaults/pref > // > // While your changes will be kept on upgrade if you modify files in > // /etc/icedove/pref, please note that they won't be kept if you > // do them in /usr/lib/icedove/defaults/pref. > > pref("extensions.update.enabled", true); > > // Use LANG environment variable to choose locale > pref("intl.locale.matchOS", true); > > // Disable default mail checking (gnome). > pref("mail.shell.checkDefaultMail", false); > > // if you are not using gnome > pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "x-www-browser"); > pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "x-www-browser"); I would like to close this report now.
