Greetings;
Icedove is using the Gnome(?) browser and I want to use Iceweasel.
I found a post from 2007 that said to use "update-alternatives
--config x-www-browser"
but although that "worked" it didn't work, even though I bounced
Icedove.
And I can't find any thing about wihich browser Icedove uses in any of
the preferences or about:config.
Anybody know the answer?
I found the following in /etc/icedove/pref/icedove.js:
// if you are not using gnome
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "x-www-browser");
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "x-www-browser");
Don't remember how these settings came in there, but I think you can
also set them in user.js or prefs.js in your profile directory.

Sven,
Thanks for the suggestion! Sometimes my brain needs a little
prodding to get started down the right path.
I am using Gnome so ...
I found the correct option in Gnome: System > Preferences >
Preferred Applications
When I changed that it took effect immediately!
Thanks!
Dennis
