On my desktop, toolbar, there's a "Desktop" menu which includes:

   Preferences

     ...
     Preferred Applications

 From the name of "Preferred Applications" I assumed that's what I could use to specify the default web browser. In 'Preferred Applications' there was a 'Internet' tab which had an entry from 'Web Browser' and 'Mail Reader'. The 'Web Browser' entry had 'iceweasel'. However, when, in 'icedove' I clicked on a url, the epiphany browser was used. Why wasn't the 'Preferred Applications'.'Web Browser' application used instead?
