That was liferea configured with default settings: "Use x-www-browser".
Sorry about the fuzziness.

I am using xfce.

Iceweasel package is still there indeed.
$ ls -l /usr/bin/iceweasel
/usr/bin/iceweasel -> ../lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr

I could reproduce the bug with command line "x-www-browser".
But now I can't anymore: x-www-browser does launch firefox ok.

Looking at the alternatives, I see nothing wrong either.

Fell free to close this report, as I am not able to reproduce this.
