Thanks. That is the case with me; it's displayed as default setting. As I now realize, the problem occurs only for https:// sites. http:// are correctly handled by iceweasel. I have now copied the hint you gave to network.protocol-handler.app.https and now it works! In full the solution for people experiencing a similar problem is to enter the advanced configuration editor: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced tab -> General tab -> Config Editor... button -> enter Within the field with preferences press right mouse button -> new -> string Enter 'network.protocol-handler.app.https' into the box that opens Enter 'x-www-browser' into the second box that opens. Done. I'm not sure, if I should file a bug? It's at least irritating that icedove would open epiphany instead of iceweasel for https:// Thanks for the help.
