[Bug-gnuzilla] Can't get IceCat in $PATH or set as default browser.

[Brian Durant]

I really like IceCat, but I can't seem to get IceCat in $PATH on my 
system, nor can I get the system to recognize IceCat as default browser. 
It is as if IceCat doesn't exist. I have IceCat version 52.3.0 in 
/home/username/bin. My system is a minimal vanilla install Devuan Jessie 
system with i3wm as the window manager. I have the following line in my 
config file "bindsym $mod+b exec icecat %u". I have set IceCat as 
default browser as prompted in the IceCat dialog box. I have run:
$ echo $PATH
/home/username/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/username/bin

I have also tried: # update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser
There is only one alternative in link group gnome-www-browser (providing 
/usr/bin/gnome-www-browser): /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable
Nothing to configure.

Any other ideas or advice?
