I wrote about this a while ago, but have to repeat my appeal. Under jessie all the gui browsers I have tried(iceweasel and chromium) crash continually, with messages "Well, this is embarrassing" and "Aw, snap" continually appearing. This happened only rarely with jessie's predecessor, wheezy.
Someone suggested I install 'iceweasel - firefoxESR'. I have done so, and it is the browser that shows when I click on 'Activities' in the upper left corner of my Gnome screen. But it doesn't start at all! ? ! ? ! Does anyone know where in /var/log the error messages for this failure are kept? Or perhaps someone has suggestions about what to change in my .cache or .config directories?
