I tracked down the iceweasel.desktop file to /usr/share/applications. I first commented out the non-language related items that did not appear in your .desktop file above. That did not fix it.
I then removed all the language related entries except the default in case it was a bad language entry. That did not fix it. I then replaced the file with the one you give above. That did not fix it. Then I wondered if it was a location issue. So I placed your file in ~/Desktop so it showed up as a desktop icon rather than a menu icon. Alas that did not fix it either.
