Package: iceweasel
Version: 38.8.0esr-1~deb8u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
upgrading in debian stable from iceweasel 38.8 to 45.4
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
open the website:
http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/staff/grabows1/acmseminar/
after upgrading to 45.4
* What was the outcome of this action?
see the page exactly as it looked in 38.8
* What outcome did you expect instead?
each line which contains a mathML object is padded from above and from
below,
even if the mathml object is very small and doesn't require padding
(padding
is enormous - equivalen in height to 1 or 2 lines of text.

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
Andreas
