I'm a bit confused by this report - I have not had any issues with iceweasel opening links from external applications, they are opened in a new tab in an existing session, or if there is no existing session iceweasel opens a new session.
Can you please provide more info, iceweasel version,
steps to reproduce, which livecd you are using (kde-lite/full/xfce), etc
Thanks |

I'm running LXDE actually but I started noticing it after my last dist-upgrade when iceweasel got bumped to 3.0.3. I had to manually go into /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel and change that line from firefox to iceweasel like in the bug report.
After that links would open new tabs in iceweasel again. |

I have the 3.03 in sidux and also in gnome debian testing, they are both not opening link from other applications giving error like:
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
I have installed swiftfox 3.03 and they dont have this error/problem.
##swiftfox
deb http://getswiftfox.com/builds/debian unstable non-free |

Thanks Hubi, I can confirm that the fix worked for me.
It was happening when opening links from Akregator, so happened in gnome too. Kcontrol fixed it perfectly
All well again

"iceweasel -a iceweasel" fixes it everywhere. I am glad, kcontrol controls The Gnome as well, and users of XFCE will know where to apply this.

I had to go to viniosity's original bug link to get the fix to allow icedove links to fire up iceweasel
