iceweasel broken after update
Hello, I am using squeeze on kernel 2.6.30-2-686 on a dell precision laptop After running aptitude safe-upgrade yesterday, and accepting all of the suggestions, iceweasel appears broken today. When I start it I get a screen with the message “Well, this is embarrassing. Iceweasel is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. You can try: Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem Starting an entirely new browsing session” On opening a new session, when I browse to a new page, other than the home page, iceweasel dies. Should I just do the following? aptitude remove iceweasel aptitude install iceweasel The following is the output of # aptitude show iceweasel Package: iceweasel State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 3.5.5-1 Priority: optional Section: web Maintainer: Maintainers of Mozilla-related packages pkg-mozilla-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Uncompressed Size: 4,067k Depends: fontconfig, psmisc, procps, debianutils (= 1.16), libc6 (= 2.3.6-6~), libgcc1 (= 1:4.1.1), libglib2.0-0 (= 2.12.0), libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.8.0), libnspr4-0d (= 1.8.0.10), libstdc++6 (= 4.1.1), xulrunner-1.9.1 Suggests: xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome-support, latex-xft-fonts, xfonts-mathml, ttf-mathematica4.1, xprint, mozplugger, libkrb53 Conflicts: iceweasel-dom-inspector ( 3.0~b4) Replaces: iceweasel-gnome-support (= 3.0~b5-2) Provides: www-browser Description: lightweight web browser based on Mozilla Iceweasel is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component, similar to Galeon, K-Meleon and Camino, but written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be lightweight and cross-platform.

However, I have lost all of my bookmarks, add-ons etc. I will be able to reinstate them, in time. John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
