Here is one solution from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2010-12/msg00051.html: As a solution, you can delete manually the file /usr/lib/icecat/extensions/privacy_ext.xpi. The problem will be fixed in the next release (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2010-12/msg00061.html).
