Hi guys!

I've got a really strange behaviour in iceweasel since upgrading to the
newest package in etch (2.0.0.2+dfsg-3).

When I ran it for the first time after upgrading it asked wether I
wanted to set it as the default browser. Since the previous version had
been my default browser and I intend to keep it that way I was surprised
by the prompt, but confirmed it anyway. Now the strange thing is that it
keeps aksing the question every time it start it, stating that it is not
the default browser atm and wether or not I want to make it.


So what is your default browser? Do you have iceweasel set as the
default in any DE you are using, if you are using one? What does
update-alternatives report?
