the wheezy release doesn't containing a package iceweasel for the ESR series 45. I assume your references inside the file $(HOME)/.icedove/$(PROFILE)/mimeTypes.rdf for html file points still to /usr/bin/iceweasel. Please look into the follwing bug report and try out point 4 in Message #20. Please make a backup before doing some chnages inside your profile. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=837516#20 PS: Next time please investigate for existing bugs before file a new one.
