Good question. I used to have similar issues with Icedove when I used it. Sometime you have to muck around with the file /etc/icedove/global-config.js to get icedove to use the correct browser.
If the following lines are in, and uncommented with within this file, then supposedly Icedove will use your system's default browser:
// pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","x-www-browser"); // pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","x-www-browser");
However, in my experience, I still had problems; so, it was necessary to add this:
// pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","mozilla-firefox"); // pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","mozilla-firefox");
It was a long while ago that I was using icedove; so, perhaps "mozilla-firefox" should be changed to "mozilla-iceweasel", or something. Or, hopefully there's a better way then mucking around with this config file to change how your email program opens web-browser links. Or, you could do as I did, and dump icedove, and use sylpheed-claws-gtk instead.
