Package: firefox-esr
Version: 45.2.0esr-1~deb8u1
Severity: normal

Hi

After upgrading to debian 8.5, iceweasel became rebranded into firefox.

However, now, when I click on a link, chromium is starting.

Here's the result of "update-alternatives --config x-www-browser":
There are 3 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).
  Selection    Path                  Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/iceweasel     70        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/chromium      40        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/firefox-esr   70        manual mode
  3            /usr/bin/iceweasel     70        manual mode

I expected alternatives to be changed automatically.

Thanks
