Maybe the %u is a problem here (I know it's valid in .desktop files, but maybe not in Mozilla preferences), so could you perhaps reset the value for network.protocol-handler.app.http to its default value? (Using the context menu accessible with the right mouse button). Funnily enough, on my system, x-www-browser is not iceweasel (I never set that explicitly), but I did set xdg-mime as I described; my settings in icedove are all defaults (.app.http is also default: x-www-browser, otherwise they are identical to your settings), nevertheless, links in emails open in iceweasel here. OTOH, I don't use TDE - so maybe it's a matter of icedove having some logic when it comes to desktop environments? Btw. did you try to start icedove from the command line (close any running instance beforehand), then click on a link and see if there are any error messages that are printed? Christian
