Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.6.0esr-1~deb7u1
Severity: minor
$ cd
$ ls

$ iceweasel &

$ ls
Desktop etc pub tmp usr
$ rmdir Desktop
$
No Iceweasel-related configuration initially. At no point did I ask
iceweasel to do anything with any files. This ~/Desktop directory should
not be springing into existence: that filename space belongs to me, not
the program. Iceweasel also creates a ~/.mozilla directory, which is
acceptably within the bounds of Unix convention, though it still ought
to be mentioned in the man page.

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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.
