You probably should make sure both the GNOME preferred applications and
Debian's "alternative" (x-www-browser) point to iceweasel. The former
you change in System->Preferences->Preferred Applications the latter
you
use update-alternatives to change.

Where would i find "update-alternatives?

Open a terminal (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or xterm or Gnome-Terminal or
Konsole, etc).
Become root (e.g. "sudo ..." or "su -").
Run the command "update-alternatives --config x-www-browser".
Select the desired default.
("update-alternatives" without parameters will give you a short help
screen, or "man update-alternatives" for the full treatment).
(Look in /etc/alternatives (i.e. "ls /etc/alternatives") for the items
that can be configured.)
This has made it work. Many thanks!
Jeff
