There is no reason for this to happen, except if you launch iceweasel with a openurl command, which had some bugs before, and the behaviour there may have changed in iceweasel 3.5.5-1. > This issue can be fixed somewhat by setting the preferred application to > iceweasel.

Here, running iceweasel does open a new window.
