Okay, so I did some digging around, and found out I had 4 xulrunners installed (I was seeing a lot of xulrunner in htop with iceweasel running, and wondering if this was somehow at fault). I completely removed all of them, which, of course, took iceweasel with it. I then reinstalled iceweasel (14, from backports) and it brought back only one xulrunner, being xulrunner-14. Things seem to be normal now. It seems perhaps too much xulrunner was maybe the source of the iceweasel problem. The hdd problem seems solved, too, from my manual fscking. ./tony -- http://www.tonybaldwin.me all tony, all the time! 3F330C6E
