That looks OK; I was suspecting that you might have an outdated or

Maybe this will clear things up, then: Strace iceweasel again as your
normal user, like this:

strace -f iceweasel 2>iceweasel.strace

After it has crashed, grep for "EACCES" in the strace file; that should
tell you which files it cannot access due to permissions problems.
